The Lords Prayer
Following on from yesterday, I was at a service recently where we were encouraged to use the "modern" form of the Lords prayer! Not sure that "sin" and "trials" is anymore understandable culturally!
It's been around for a while now but I love the txt version of the Lords Prayer and really enjoyed being at a Youth Led service once where the whole congregation were led together in saying:
dad@hvn,ur spshl.
we want wot u want
&urth2b like hvn
giv us food
&4giv us
lyk we 4giv uvaz.
don't test us!
save us!
bcos we kno ur boss,
ur tuf&ur cool
4 eva!ok
And lets not debate how it fits into a liturgical framework!
Supplemental: Over at Coyote Mercury you can see the Lords Prayer's English translation in both Old and Middle English.
