What's New This Week

ALL THE NEW URLS we receive each week are here. We list two (sometimes three) weeks' worth, cycling the old ones off each week. As they disappear from this page, you'll find the links moved to their natural home categories in our resource pages.

If you can't find something that was once here, try the AO search engine. It searches our entire site, and it can also search all of the sites that we link to.

News Centre
A pastoral letter to every Anglican in Canada. Geoffrey Rowell on stewardship of the earth. English commision recommends 'As You Like It' for theme of the church. Bishops talk about unity, and, oddly enough, they all say about the same thing. New primates in Japan and Jerusalem; new bishops in Panama and Egypt. Reports on the church as singles haunt. Welsh primate talks about child abuse. Wells cathedral reverts. +Oxford says that God doesn't care about plumbing. Church of Ireland annoyed at lack of intercommunion. Coup in Fiji; a new TV series in Australia, odd art in England, press releases from Mississauga, a new variation on the concept of Lay Presidency, and some fairly desperate measures to deal with declining church attendance in England. We think the English should just ship their empty churches to Canada, which will likely be needing them soon. Whew: this is a jam-packed News Centre this week, isn't it?
