A couple of issues I can think of:
1. Prayer-boon, as brought up by musalis' masterclass thread.
Basically, the question is whether priests should be able to use boons while praying. The priest class post doesn't specifically address that issue, the closest is:
Quote:
You can operate as normal during prayer.
The argument that you shouldn't be allowed to do this can be broken into two points: a balance issue (aka "priests get too powerful if they can use both at once"), and a roleplaying issue ("you can't ask you God for too much at once"), both summed up well below by oso:

Personally, for the roleplaying point, I've never seen using a boon a requiring asking the God. I thought you got the boon given to you once, and then could use it at your leisure without contacting the God every time.
About the balance point, I'm naturally biased because I am playing a priest. I don't think this is making the priest overly powerful, since the priest isn't getting anything while praying. The effects of the prayer only come after it is finished, and at that point the priest can use boons with or without this restriction.
2. Prayer clarification
The bibles say that you can have x prayers per page, but prayers go over multiple posts and thus can sometimes start on one page and end on another. Does this mean
a) you can only start x prayers per page?
b) you can only finish x prayers per page?
c) you can only pray on x prayers per page (so if you pray at least one post for a prayer on a page, it count as a prayer for that page)
3. level 3 bible
This has been bugging me for a while... what use is it to have 3 prayers one page 3 and beyond? A page is 15 posts. 3 of those will be God posts (since you finish 3 prayers), leaving 12 posts, so you'll have at most 6 posts to pray. A 1-post prayer is an invitation for the God to punish you for insolence, so you'll have to pray 3 2-post prayers. Assuming that 2 posts of prayer are enough not to get punished, it also really isn't long enough to get anything useful out of the prayers. This doesn't even take into account that the last prayer would be finished on the last or next-to-last post, and so would be even less useful, since there isn't really time for it to be useful.
And, of course, if you want to go beyond page 3, then you have more than 2 players, and as such even less posts for you to pray on.
