In this episode, Father Jonathan and Dr Matthew get back to basics after the soaring heights of how the doctrine of God affects our everyday piety. Where does our whole tradition of Christian prayer go back to? Why, Jesus himself, and the prayer he taught his disciples: The Lord's Prayer. We look a little at its importance and its journey through liturgical history.

OUR Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.
