Oral Roberts University & Praying Hands
Oral Roberts University
A futuristic evangelical university campus. The bronze Prayer Hands at the entrance, about 18 meters tall, are a popular photo spot.
Oral Roberts University was founded in 1963 by televangelist Oral Roberts. Its buildings have a strong 1960s space-age style, and the gold glass Prayer Tower stands out in particular. At the main gate, a pair of bronze Prayer Hands about 18 meters tall and weighing around 30 tons are among the largest bronze sculptures in the United States. The exterior of the campus can be visited freely. The university is located at 81st Street and Lewis Avenue in south Tulsa.
