Rejected Lord's Prayer cinema ad seen by half a million

From The Church Times-

A DISPUTE over the refusal to screen a cinema advertisement from the Church of England, featuring the Lord’s Prayer, continues to rumble on.

The C of E’s director of communications, the Revd Arun Arora, has said that Digital Cinema Media (DCM), which handles advertising for Britain’s cinema chains, did not have a written policy banning religious adverts when it turned it down.

The advert was made to promote a new C of E website, www.justpray.co.uk, and was made to be shown before screenings of the new Star Wars film in December. It has been cleared by the Cinema Advertising Authority, and rated U by the British Board of Film Classification.
