Nicola Slee - Abba Amma: Improvisations on the Lord's Prayer (N304)

00:00

Reflecting on the Lord's Prayer, theologian, writer, and poet Nicola Slee delves into some of it’s problematic language, and through a process of improvisation reimagines the prayer as one that brings a universal message of hope in a world marred by injustice.
