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.

Not in the Communion
Mariners Church of Detroit: An oddity, it is a stand-alone church, not a part of any denomination, with historic ties to the Episcopal Church. Many people will recognise it from the reference in Gordon Lightfoot's popular song about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. -- http://marinerschurchofdetroit.org/

Worth Noting
'We're Trying to Change World History: A Profile of Bishop William Swing, Bishop of California, in Fast Company (a glossy business magazine published in the US). -- http://www.fastcompany.com/online/40/wf_swing.html (The photos of the bishop in the dead-tree version aren't on the web, and they're quite good. Photo of Bishop Swing in his cathedral; photo of the bishop in his study.)

'How the West Lost Mysticism: When did Western Christians stop expecting mystical union with God through Christ?' by Frederica Matthewes-Green -- http://www.beliefnet.com/story/43/story_4340_1.html

'The Opening of the Evangelical Mind', by Alan Wolfe, in the October 2000 issue of The Atlantic Monthly (US). 'Of all America's religious traditions, the author writes, evangelical Protestantism, at least in the twentieth-century conservative forms, has long ranked "dead last in intellectual stature." Now evangelical thinkers are trying to revitalize their tradition. Can they turn an intellectual backwater into an intellectual beacon?' A thoughtful, interesting article. -- http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2000/10/wolfe.htm

USA: Ohio, Gambier, 29 October
Several alumni of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio have organized an event with the purpose of worshipping Almighty God, and celebrating Gambier's godly heritage. Evening Prayer (1789 American Book of Common Prayer) will be followed by Bp. Charles McIlvaine's sermon "The believer's hidden life in Christ." Bp. McIlvaine (1799-1873) was the second Bishop of Ohio, President of Kenyon College, and a leader of the Evangelical wing of the Episcopal Church. The public is cordially invited to attend. For further information, contact MHSampson@cs.com or see http://www.episcopalian.org/gambierevangelicals/

Multimedia: Youth
A Flash animation of the Genesis recounting of the first seven days of creation. Perhaps a bit too Disneyish in sum, it nonetheless gives an idea of some of the effects possible in this format. Uses the Authorised Version text and an irritating (to us) muzak-ish version of Pachelbel's famous canon as background. (Please note that unless you have version 4 or 5 of Macromedia's Shockwave/Flash plugin on your computer this animation will not work.) -- http://www.kids4truth.com/recreation.swf
