Lord’s prayer
Lord’s prayer
Over the years I’ve begun to collect different local versions of the Lord’s Prayer, in part as a teaching opportunity to help students think through the significance of this prayer, and in part to help them expand their interpretations. Here are some of them:
a version from a New Zealand prayerbook
an embodied, dance anthem version
a feminist litany with alternating sides, the traditional version and an alternate version, mingled
another feminist version
a feminist version with a decidedly “green” emphasis
a poem/prayer version by George Ella Lyon
an internet blogger’s version
a version from human rites (this is all the info I have, if you have more about this one -- please let me know!)
