By Steven Tucker, Crisis Magazine - During the General Synod of the Church of England (CofE) on 7 July, the Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, argued that the Lord’s Prayer opening with the words “Our Father” was “problematic” (that far-left code word du jour). The alleged “problem” was that this hitherto innocuous phrase may cause upset “for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive.” Furthermore, the word “Father” could also be considered offensive “for all of us who have labored rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life.”
