Curiously, all of Jesus’ prayers, except his cry of dereliction (Mt 27:46), begin with “Father.” Of all the titles we use to refer to God, Jesus invites his disciples into his own familial relationship with the Father. However, the word “father” is a loaded term for those who have had broken relationships with their earthly fathers.

It is becoming increasingly rare that someone is born into a particular faith tradition and stays there until they die. There is an increased awareness of the other ways of approaching faith within the Christian family, in part spurred by our recognition of one denomination's limitations in encapsulating the whole Christian faith, and often from a disillusionment in those limitations or potentially damaging beliefs and practices.
