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
Lord Runcie is laid to rest. If you read nothing else in Anglicans Online this week, you must read Simon Sarmiento's account of the funeral service. The first "reflecting on the General Convention" column appears in the US press (remember that the US press is much more secular than the British press). The Diocese of Benin gets a bishop again, after a 5-year wait. Interview with a new Nigerian archbishop. Nigerian Primate supports US traditionalists. A Credo on weeding. British money for church schools. The Sharia uproar continues in Nigeria. Bishops win sex vote in House of Lords. Fort Worth holding firm on the ordination of women. Judge orders vicar to put back the pews. All this, and more, in the News Centre.

It is anticipated that almost 400 Anglicans including representatives of Youth, Adult Laity and Clergy from the eight Dioceses that comprise the Province will meet under the theme `Reclaim, Acclaim, and Proclaim the Faith!'

News Centre
Chaplain in a night club. Steeples and cell phones don't mix in Hampshire. Synod and General Convention both end; if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, did it make a sound? Clifford Longley writes about finding the next ABC while the current one is quite healthy and has several more years in office. But the one before him has just died, and tributes are pouring in. RC Cardinal to celebrate in Latin at Winchester, though the St Albans clergy did just that today with no help from a cardinal. The Sharia situation is still burbling in Nigeria, and it doesn't look like there will be an easy way out. Uganda and Tanzania both say they have clergy behaviour problems. Tanzania reports an awful problem in the traffic in human skin for sorcery. All this, and more, in the News Centre.
