Not sure I'm getting mechanics right

Actually it looks like it is exactly the same order as in Dom2 - at least if you only look at the titles:

8. Prayers - Prophets are declared and gods awaken.

24. Dominions - All dominion spread (for whatever reason) is conducted now

Yeah, I had a close look at the manual when I wrote my post. The description for "prayers" only mentions pretender recalling/awakening and prophets, not "preaching". I don't think "preaching" matches "prayers". "Dominion spread", OTOH, does match "preaching", whose only game effect is, precisely, dominion change.
