Hallo again to all.
The big newsat least if you measure the size of news in terms of money spent, press releases distributed, and mindshare of the participantsis the triennial ECUSA General Convention this week and next. In 1997, there wasn't much online news of the Philadelphia convention, so those of us who produce Anglicans Online provided some ad hoc online coverage that was well received. This year, many organisations, including ECUSA's own Episcopal News Service, intend to provide online coverage. Thus instead of putting our efforts into frontline online news coverage, we'll stand back a little, produce our Anglicans Online GC News Centre that covers that news the way our regular News Centre covers other newsand see what happens. One of the joys of being unofficial is that we can try whatever we want. Do look over our General Convention section; everything we do with respect to GC 2000 will be linked there. Please note that we'll be updating our GC pages daily, and you can reach that area of our site easily from the yellow link on the menu to the left. If you've not yet signed up to be an Anglicans Online GC 2000 correspondent, we'd still like to hear from you. We've made a web page for each of the people who has contacted us so far, and as soon as they send us something we'll make those correspondents pages active. Signed up in advance or not, send your contributions to news@anglicansonline.org.
The complete text of the Göttingen Gutenberg bible is now online, free, courtesy of the Göttingen State and University Library. This is one of four complete illuminated copies on vellum. The web site is in both English and German. We welcome this week 12 new parishes in the USA, Scotland, England, and Canada, along with the Anglican Board of Mission in Australia and the Community of the Resurrection in Mirfield, England. See you next week. (Make that tomorrow.)
