It's one of those terms that is so loaded, it presents so much. First and foremost it is a conviction, it's faith. We're calling for God's kingdom to be among us, but it's also hopefulness that it doesn't matter what we do, we're placing these calls, these petitions, these prayers before You but at the end of the day because of our absolute trust in You, Thy Kingdom Come as You see. And so I think just those few words bring together the whole concept of faith, of hope, of understanding, of trust and they allow us, as Your Grace rightly says, to be able to pray together universally And while lots people go on about how much there is between us and about the differences and the conflicts, yet there is so much we have in common. And in particular the Lord's Prayer, our creed, elements of our faith that we're not ever going to conflict over, but they bring us together on a daily basis.
