I think they've chosen a good domain name there. From a branding point of view I like it. It has the right kind of call to action.

Yes agree. Has a nice ring to it and easy to recall.

COE website getting lots of coverage in the press currently

Have you heard why?

CofE produced a 1 minute advert, that speaks the lords prayer. Produced for cinema adverts, they wanted it played before every showing of Star Wars, The Force Awakens.

The big 3 cinema operators (Vue, Cineworld and Odeion) have all refused to show it, and this accounts for 80% of showings, by saying that it may cause offence.

Now CofE chucking dummy out pram.

Will be a flash in the pan, and press will move on to something else shortly.

Yes I did. My only interest in it is that they are using .uk and that it's getting major coverage by the press, bbc, sky, guardian, etc. Anything that promotes .uk is a good thing - Nominet sure aren't going to do it

I think its a great video, shame on those who wouldn't play it for fear of upsetting minorities. Nice to see .uk getting some good use.

 

[humble pie]

Good to see, still lots of .UK haters on here

It looks like they're listing "prayers" unfiltered on the site. From the sample on the first page, at least 50% of them seem to be overtly/covertly mocking in tone.

They've done very well from a PR perspective mind you, as they've managed to buy themselves headline coverage by effectively not being allowed to pay for ads!

I would imagine the COE marketing guys are very happy it got banned/blocked – might even have been engineered to be.

Tons of totally free promotion.
