Alexa, please say the Lord's Prayer! Amazon's assistant has been harnessed by the Church of England

It is a device normally used to check the weather forecast or order more toilet paper. But Alexa can now summon a prayer to say grace before your evening meal or give thanks to God before going to bed at night. Amazon's virtual assistant has been picked up by the Church of England to make being a practising Christian easier. In response to a simple command, its app gets Alexa to read out the Lord's Prayer or the Ten Commandments, for those concerned about wrongdoing. Along with other Google searches, users can ask how to become a Christian, how to pray and who God is.
