Pious Christians recite the Lord’s Prayer daily, if not thrice daily. It was given to us by the Lord Jesus himself at the direct request of his disciples (Matthew 6.9–13 and Luke 11.2–4). This Series reads the Lord’s Prayer closely and deliberately to unpack the ways in which it glorifies God and petitions for humanity’s spiritual and physical needs.
The Series will be offered on the Mondays of Lent 2023 at 7pm (Edinburgh time) in six 30-minute webinars, each of which will be posted on YouTube and remain viewable anytime thereafter. The Series is meant to be a resource for Christians to use creatively during the Season of Lent, for example as a refresher course for individuals or a conversation starter for church groups, with discussion questions at the end of each webinar.
Presenter: Revd Dr Michael Hull, Director of Studies, Scottish Episcopal Institute, Edinburgh
