Xmas ad with prayer banned from UK cinemas


LONDON: A pre-Christmas advert featuring solely the Lord’s Prayer has been banned from Britain’s biggest cinema chains for fear of causing offence, to the bewilderment of the Church of England.

The 56-second advertisement features believers from various walks of life, including the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, a weightlifter, a farmer, a couple getting married, refugees and a gospel choir, saying the main Christian prayer.
