According to Stephen Cottrell, the archbishop of York, the opening words of the Lord’s Prayer may be “problematic”, because of their patriarchal association. Patriarchal? Has the archbishop ever read the Bible, a contender for the most patriarchal book ever written? Nonsense like this is what passes for debate in the C of E: still the established religion in the country of my birth, despite the fact that the pews are empty. This really is like two bald men arguing over a comb.
