I am not sure if this has ever been addressed, but I find it strange that 
the Taylor family never said a table prayer before eating. Not even when the 
visiting minister dined with them.  Prayer was mentioned in a number of 
episodes. i.e., Opie said his prayers in the very first episode and several 
other times he told Andy that he had said his prayers, Aunt Bee said she was 
praying for Otis, and the minister of All Saints Church said that he should 
perhaps pray more when the decision had to be made between choir robes and 
fixing the leaning church.  In the Walton's the family always said a prayer, 
and in Little House on the Prairie they often showed praying, so I am just 
wondering why the writers never included this in Mayberry?  Does anyone have 
any thoughts on this that might enlighten me?
