Oct. 29, 2024 – The Archbishop of York has told Premier he believes the Lord’s Prayer should come with a health warning to emphasise its significance and power.

To help avoid reciting it on autopilot, Most Rev Stephen Cottrell advises believers to slow down and take it “a phrase at a time” to reflect deeply on its meaning. He notes that the prayer is brief — less than 70 words — but reflects what it means to live as a disciple of Jesus.

He made these remarks while sharing more details about his new book, Praying By Heart, which offers a deep dive into this famous prayer.

Archbishop Stephen has often reflected on the opening of the prayer, “Our Father in heaven,” as a reflection of unity within the body of Christ. Given this, he was asked whether he believes unity is possible within the Church of England as it navigates deep divisions over issues of sexuality.

He expressed hope that it is possible to have both conservative and liberal streams within the Church of England.
