Changes to the Danish version of the Lord’s Prayer have prompted discussion about whether the Faroese version could also be modernised, KVF reports.

The Danish Bible Society has revised some of the prayer’s wording, including changing its opening to “Vores far” (“Our Father”). Some people are unhappy with the change.

Pastor Theodor Eli Dam Olsen will discuss the version used in the Faroe Islands today and give his views on a proposed modernisation prepared by KVF’s morning programme.
