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.

The website feed will be live, for the duration of the week-long synod, from July 4-11, and will consist of raw footage, without editing.

'Rebuilding the temple of the welfare state', by Bob Holman (The Guardian): 'Norwich cathedral is marking the 60th anniversary of the Malvern conference with a major conference next month. The meeting, mainly of Anglicans, at Malvern College in 1941, is widely regarded as the start of a movement that persuaded many traditional members of the church of England to press for a welfare state. Its leader was William Temple, then Archbishop of York. The 2001 conference at Norwich, much more ecumenical in attendance, is also focusing on the church and the socially excluded. It is instructive to compare them'.
