Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell argues that the first two words of Christianity’s most famous prayer – the Lord’s Prayer – encapsulate the radical heart of the Christian faith: that we belong to each other, and that we all have access to God. And if we could understand both these ideas they would truly change our lives – and the world.

Unpacking each clause of this ancient prayer both for those who want to encounter it afresh and those beyond church circles, this is the Lord’s Prayer recast as a manifesto for the 21st-century church and all who are searching to belong.
