The Lords Prayer Tour

The Lord’s Prayer not only guides our prayers but also influences how we live our daily lives.

It doesn’t matter if you know the prayer well or are exploring its significance for the first time, this event is open to all. Whether you are part of a church community or simply curious about faith and prayer, you are warmly invited to join us at this special event which is part of a wider series of events taking place across the North of England.

The Archbishop is to visit all 12 dioceses in the Northern Province of the Church of England where he will be speaking and sharing the importance and relevance of the Lord’s Prayer to our world today, encouraging people to pray and live by this as part of their missionary discipleship.

Working alongside others, the Archbishop is encouraging prayer and the aim is to foster deeper connections with the Christian faith across the north and renew the Church’s missionary purpose to share God’s love with all.

Archbishop Stephen Cottrell said:

“In less than 70 words, Jesus gives us a prayer to learn by heart and a prayer that gets inside our hearts, shaping the way we live. The Lord’s Prayer surely is the best place to start. It is said in just about every church service, from the coronation of the King to the christening of a child. It’s a challenging prayer and when we say this prayer together, we become part of God’s movement of change, of bringing God’s heaven to earth. It teaches us how to pray. But it also teaches us how to live”.

As well as teaching people how to say the Lord’s Prayer and how it can show us a pattern for living and it is hoped that many people will come to a greater understanding of the Lord’s Prayer and see their lives shaped by the vision it presents.
