Cinemas have discretion which seems to have been the angle the CofE was aiming at but given that it directly contravenes company policy I don't see how they've got a case. I doubt individual franchises would contradict corporate policy on this one.
Okay, but what part of the ad contravenes the OFCOM regulations? As far as I'm concerned, cinema ads shouldn't be ported from TV and should be designed for the medium, and of course they'll have different regulations.
I don't really understand the opposition to the ad - I just watched it. It's the Lord's prayer, and there's nothing really objectionable or offensive in the Lord's prayer.
