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, you can look in our archives or try the AO search engine. It searches our entire site, and it can also search all of the sites that we link to.

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 Centre
Westminster Abbey sacks Choir School headmaster. Kerfuffles over intercommunion, religious schools, the Peniel Pentecostal Church, and the Marsupial of the Southern Cone. Oxford scholar explains why Lisa Simpson is theologically sophisticated. The world's Anglican spin doctors play with the symbolic meaning (if any) of Kanuga. Archaeologists in China find evidence of early Christianity. New doctrinal commission appointed. New Dean of Canterbury. Ruth Gledhill on loss of faith; advertising executive finds God. Cardinal Newman moves closer to sainthood; Guardian says the church needs good PR and Andrew Brown suggests it involve wombats. Christian matchmaking. Toronto's Condominium Cathedral. All this, and more, in the News Centre.

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
