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 to which we link.

'Saturday 1st June Bishop Reuben Tariambari offered his resignation as Bishop of Popondota to the House of Bishops, and his resignation was accepted. Bishop Reuben told the House of Bishops that he had found the task of administering a large and complex diocese such as the Diocese of Popondota too much for his capabilities, and that he felt it was in the best interests of the diocese and the province that he should resign. He will remain in the bishop's house at Popondetta until the end of June, and will then return to the Manau area with his family. The Vicar General, Fr Patrick Piriri, will administer the diocese until the election of a new Diocesan Bishop, which will probably take place in September or October'.

Episcopal Elections

The Diocese of Massachusetts has elected the Very Revd Gayle Elizabeth Harris as the seventh Bishop Suffragan of the Diocese of Massachusetts. Details at http://massachusetts.anglican.org/.

The Diocese of Mumias (Kenya) has elected the Revd Beneas Salalah Okumu as its next bishop. Report in the East African Standard.

The Diocese of the Arctic (Canada) has elected the Rt Revd Andrew Atagotaaluk, currently its suffragan, as coadjutor. This means that he will become the diocesan bishop when the present bishop retires. Details on the ACC website.

Worth Noting
Margaret Rodgers responds to Lucy Wooding's article 'Sydney's unlikely allies': Recently we asserted that an article in The Tablet was Worth Noting. Margaret Rodgers of the Diocese of Sydney has written an open letter to the editor of that magazine in response to the article. That open letter is also Worth Noting. (Do you have any idea how fearful we are in this section that we will accidentally type an extra 'h' and make it say Worth Nothing and have people think we did it on purpose?)
