Lords Prayer advert banned

Sorry ja. I CBA.

Never thought of the Lords Prayer as a comparison with after the watershed tv progs or trashy childrens toys

jingle She says:

"It is no great effort to imagine the reaction in the tabloid press had another faith group or a secular body attempted to run a similar advertisement." Doesn't she have a point?

It is not an attack on free speech. The advertisement is not "banned". Thousands of people have seen it.

I think there is a similar argument to be had with regard to all enclosed public spaces. Whilst I agreed wholeheartedly with Benedict Cumberbatch's sentiments re our government's response to the refugee crisis, I did not feel it was right that he should impose his views on a "captive audience" who might find it awkward to get up, say in the middle of a row, and disturb (or annoy) other theatre goers.

Rosequartz , why shouldn't the Bish think the same as you

anniebach I should hope that the Archbishop would be strong and faithful as the leader of the Anglicans - I would never even become a lay preacher without having a profound faith.
The vicar popped in today, I should have asked him his opinion but he was in a rush (as usual).

I would think Star Wars is a highly inappropriate film to promote any religion
Except Jediism?

I don't know any Muslim prayers but I would think, if there is one as simple, as innocuous, and as 'one-size-fits-all' as the Lords Prayer, many people would be glad to hear it.

In fact, I think they should make a similar advert.

"Hallowed be Thy name". That could well apply to Muslims and Allah.

As the 'Charlie' happenings illustrated so forcefully.

Rosequartz , there is no reason to think the Bish isn't strong and faithful , I think you will find many priests agree with me on this . Do you really believe no priest ever questions - why?

Not as much as me, though, surely?

Did your vicar really pop in rq? I didn't think that still happened. (Thank the Lord)

He came on an errand jings

I am fine thanks Crafting. There are actually quite a number of religious threads that I either dont answer on, or only briefly.

I roughly agree with Eloethan's first sentence of her first post. But I have mixed feelings too, so decided to stay out of it. I can see all sides really.

I don't know how much you question rosequartz , I don't know how much or how many priests question, I do know that it is not at all unusual , if you think about their calling , there are surely questions you and I will never have to grapple with. The Bish spoke of his despair of that attack, he shared that moment with us and shared the answer he received
