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.

Web: Anglican Church of Canada General Synod, 4 – 11 July, 2001
We're happy to note this news from the Anglican Church of Canada: 'Web surfers anywhere in the world will be able to see on their computer monitors exactly what synod delegates are seeing on the screen of the large plenary hall, the site for most of the business of synod. 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. From the General Synod web site click an icon to access the live feed.' You'll need RealPlayer software, a free download available at the Real.com website. There seems to be an administrative limit of 100 people at a time watching it, so you might not get in.
