News Centre
Australia prepares to elect a new primate. Please hurry: we need archbishops with good sense in that part of the world. Britain argues about homosexuality and law, but we don't cover the story because we think it's British national news and not Anglican news. Primates from Singapore and Rwanda consecrate two Americans as bishops, presumably to send to the USA to create schism. We have extensive coverage of this. More on the Wee Frees, including some commentary on just how wee they are. Bishop of Wakefield writes a Credo. British government suggests that the church could do more to help the homeless. ("... after all, aren't those churches mostly empty these days?") Ruth Gledhill writes about an ancient clock at St Albans. A new issue of Beowulf on CD ROM. A new book about the Church of England, which we will call "major" at least until we've had a chance to read it. England continues to writhe over the issue of divorcees remarrying in church. All this, and more, in the News Centre.

Books, Magazines, etc.
Augustine, Confessions: An Internet edition of a substantial work of scholarship, coinciding with availability of a paper reprint edition. In 1992, the Clarendon Press published James J. O'Donnell's three volumes of introduction, text, and commentary; the work sold for roughly USD 300 and eventually went out of print. The entire work is now available on the Internet free of charge. The work provides a complete Latin text of the Confessions, a detailed scholarly commentary on the text line-by-line, and a lengthy interpretive introduction, http://www.stoa.org/hippo/comm.html, the most accessible part of the book to Latinless readers. -- http://www.stoa.org/hippo

Times readers raise money for St Ethelburga Centre. Guardian interviews a controversial activist. Ruth Gledhill on St Peter's Vere St. Martyn Percy on religious themes in advertising. Great thrashing about separation of church and state in Britain, and an amusing sidebar about same in Massachusetts. SIECUS releases a report certain to rouse strong feelings. Online confessions, wildly successful fundraising, better attendance at cathedrals. One of the oldest Christian edifices in the world in danger of falling into the sea. All this, and more, in the News Centre.

Theological Resources
A Portrait of Jesus: From Galilean Jew to the Face of God: 'The Christian faith is a historical faith which emerged from a historical person: Jesus of Nazareth. History has always informed the Christian faith -- creeds, councils, and developing traditions over the centuries have led to present day belief systems. This study takes a step further back in history to learn more about the historical Jesus'. The site is based on the work of Marcus Borg, 'scholar, Christian, and author, who uses the terms "pre-Easter Jesus" to talk about the Jesus of history and "post-Easter Jesus" to talk about the Christ of faith'. -- http://www.united.edu/portrait/

News Centre
The God Channel fined. The pesky year-before-Millennium dome just won't stay out of the news, even when Prince Charles gets angry upon seeing it. Time to put poetry back into God's language. The ECUSA has a major crisis about its General Convention (come on, just cancel it and spend the money on your web site instead). Various world primates slap Frank Griswold. Lutherans wriggle about the Concordat. Desmond Tutu preaches another great sermon. Bishop Spong about to retire. Church attendance figures rise if you count people who attend once a year. England plans to double the number of Church of England schools. Another great bishop dies (do they make them like they used to? We think so). Parliament of World Religions meets and is reported upon. Quebec creates a French-speaking Anglican parish. Lorem Ipsum. More news about the Scottish nun in trouble with church authorities. BBC takes heat for cutting back its religious programming. All this, and more, in the News Centre.
