impress upon the Digital Cinema Media (DCM), that the lords prayer is welcome

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The Church of England has been refused the permission of leading UK cinemas to show an advert featuring the Lord's Prayer. The advert was passed uncut by the British Board of Film Classification and given a "U" certificate, as well as receiving clearance from the Cinema Advertising Authority.

It is Christmas time soon, a huge religious festival in the UK that all shops and nearly every household participate in. The vast, vast majority of the UK population know that Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ and participate in it. But certain cinemas will (presumably) put decorations up, but refuse to acknowledge Christ within their walls, by blocking the Lords Prayer being seen or heard.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This decision is a result of the policy of Digital Cinema Media, not a decision by the Government or Parliament.

You may wish to write to DCM to make your views known.
