Major theater chains in Great Britain are refusing to show a Church of England advertisement promoting the Lord's Prayer, the Daily Mail reports.
The church said no policy barring religious advertising existed when it began trying to put the one-minute ad on screens before movies, and it was approved by the British Board of Film Classification and the Cinema Advertising Authority.
The Digital Cinema Media agency, which runs advertising for Odeon, Cineworld, and Vue theaters, has refused to show it, however, saying it could cause offense.
The ad shows various people, including bodybuilders and children, reciting the New Testament prayer of Jesus.
The church asked for a copy of the policy disallowing the ad, but was told there wasn't a formal document – just an agreement between DCM's members.

Do the movies at military post and base theaters still start with the National Anthem?
pray for the Brits. England has become a heathen land similar to the U.S.
Makes me wonder.....how many of these people attacking Christians for what they believe are going to celebrate Christmas this year?!?? It is a religious holiday after all!!
Has anyone seen MAD MAX? ?
I'm sure prayers to Allah would be PC.
Yet blaring the caterwauling yodel of the islamic "call to prayer" five times a day in public, is perfectly ok.
NOT.
simple just don't go
1:56. Spot on!
Don't worry about Allah. He's dead, he doesn't answer prayers. period...
It's about time to can the C of E.
