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 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'.
