'Psalms Breathing: Meditating the Psalms with Music, Movement, and Silence': The author is a communicant of the Episcopal Church and
a practising psychiatrist working with seriously ill patients in a state hospital. He writes that his book 'presents a spiritual discipline
based on the psalms, using my own simple music, movements, and the practice of intentional silence, to go deep into the psalms, beyond
words'. More information about the book, available both in PDF and soft-cover paperback format, from his home page. -- http://home.att.net/~l.n.gruber

USA. There are two Sunday Services 8 and 9:30 am. The congregation has an average Sunday attendance of 78 (both services). The rectory

Miscellaneous
Are you an Anglican? And a poet? Research is being done towards collecting a worldwide Anthology of Modern Anglican Poets: 1950–present.
The potential publisher is soliciting information regarding suggestions of names and manuscripts of Anglican poets who may fit into this
category. Here are the criteria for submission:
1) Poets from 1950 to the present must either have been raised Anglican
or consider themselves to be currently active members of the Anglican Communion worldwide;
2) Poets must have a substantial body of published work, preferably in the field of poetry (but not limited to that), either in journals
or published books. Other areas could include fiction, non-fiction, or theology.
For further information, contact the Reverend Pamela Lee Cranston at pcranstn@pacbell.net

News Sources
It has for years been customary in the world of journalism to distinguish between news and features. In the Anglican world,
that distinction has become quite blurred, as more and more of what was once called feature writing is now called news reporting. To that
end, Anglicans Online has decided that we will now list in our News Sources section various web sources that are, in our opinion, not
news but features. We knew that the world of journalism would never be the same when the University of Chicago proclaimed that it was
no longer mandatory to hyphenate multiple-word adjectives. These sources are not named here in New This Week, because they are not new.
What's new is our decision to list them.

Worth Noting
John Henry Newman Bicentennial
'Beliefs'
In the New York Times, Peter Steinfels reflects on 'A master of English prose, and a thinker of extraordinary subtlety, that man, John
Henry Newman, is the only Catholic theologian of the 19th or 20th centuries (setting aside popes) to be cited in the official catechism
of the [Roman] Catholic Church'. -- http://www.nytimes.com/2001/02/24/national/24BELI.html
'Newman and the Victorian Church'
In The Tablet, David Newsome, the brilliant historian of the Victorian church, considers the achievement of John Henry Newman, the influential,
enigmatic man (and potential saint?) whose 200th birthday occurs this year. -- http://www.thetablet.co.uk/cgi-bin/archive_db.cgi?tablet-00496
'Memories Chiseled in a Cathedral's Stone'
In the New York Times, Daniel Wakin writes: 'Twenty-two years ago, the idea rang out like a clarion. To resume work on the Cathedral
Church of St John the Divine, British masters would come to New York and train jobless youths in the ways of medieval stonemasonry. Together
they would revive a dying craft. And lo, a stoneyard arose on the edge of Harlem. The cathedral began to grow again. It was an idea at
once grandiose and simple, and well covered in the national news media. But a decision to commercialize the operation just before an economic
downturn drove the stoneyard under in 1994. The young masons, who had the promise of a lifetime's work, scattered. So whatever happened
to them?' -- http://www.nytimes.com/2001/02/23/nyregion/23STON.html
