“Our Father, who art in heaven…” These opening words of the Lord’s Prayer are so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first spoke them, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that would shape their lives—and alter the course of history.

Far from an innocuous series of comforting words, the Lord’s Prayer speaks of God’s will for us, our responsibilities to one another and to creation, the meaning of enough, and the moral obligations that come with living in God’s kingdom. Join us for this timely exploration of one of the most revolutionary and enduring prayers of our tradition—and the only prayer that Jesus ever taught.
