The Lord\u2019s Prayer, says the African theologian Tertullian (155\u2013220), is the \u2018epitome of the Gospel\u2019. Pious Christians recite the Lord\u2019s 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\u201313 and Luke 11.2\u20134). Teach us to Pray, a series of webinars,\u00a0reads the Lord\u2019s Prayer closely and deliberately to unpack the ways in which it glorifies God and petitions for humanity\u2019s spiritual and physical needs.<\/p>\n
The Series will be offered on the Mondays of Lent 2023 at 7pm in six 30-minute webinars, each of which will be posted on YouTube. 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.<\/p>\n
Presenter: Revd Dr Michael Hull, Director of Studies at the Scottish Episcopal Institute in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n
