Outrage as Church of England Archbishop claims saying 'Our Father' is 'problematic'

A Church of England archbishop has said that saying 'Our Father' is 'problematic'

He added: "And, yes, I know the word ‘Father’ is problematic for those whose experience of earthly fathers has been destructive and abusive, and for all of us who have laboured rather too much from an oppressively patriarchal grip on life."

Canon Dr Chris Sugden, Chairman of Anglican Mainstream, said: "Is the Archbishop of York saying Jesus was wrong or that Jesus was not pastorally aware? I can’t believe he is doing that consciously, but that’s the impression it gives."It seems to be emblematic of the approach of some church leaders to take their cues from culture rather than scripture.”
