Led by Professor Nicola Slee

The Lord's Prayer or the Our Father is a prayer text and practice that unites Christians worldwide and puts us in touch with Jesus and Christians throughout the ages. People of other faiths and traditions are also drawn to this prayer.  But how do we pray this prayer today, in light of our growing awareness of the dangers of patriarchal and monarchical language and thinking?  In this day, Nicola Slee will share something of her own journey with the Lord's Prayer and suggest that we are called, not so much to repeat the prayer unvaryingly, as to live in its pattern and improvise around it to find our own authentic way of praying.

Starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.

Cost: £30
