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.

Worth Noting
Breaking the Surface, by Anne Lamott
'I believe in the basic Christian message: that life happens, death happens and then new life happens. I believe in resurrection. So sue me. Or go read something else'.

One in the Eye for God, by Simon Parke
The resurrection was a long shot that should have changed the world; but it doesn't seem to have. How would it be if we let it change us, asks Simon Parke.
