New This Week News Over to you . . . Resources Worldwide Anglicanism Dioceses and Parishes Anglicans Online |
Hallo again to all. This week we have 50 new parish listings, from all over the world. You can see them in our New This Week section. We never lose our sense of awe and wonder at the breadth and diversity of the Anglican Communion, even while rejoicing in its unity.
Sometimes we wish we could dig deeper, and learn more about a parish or a diocese than is on its website. And sometimes we can: when a diocese is looking for a new bishop, it's the custom in the USA for that diocese to produce and distribute a printed diocesan profile that will help attract and persuade qualified candidates. Sometimes these profiles end up online, too. Cynthia earns her living as the principal of a small marketing and public
relations firm in upstate New York, and the Search Committee of the Diocese of New Jersey is one of her clients. The printed version of the New Jersey Diocesan Profile is a work of art. If you are lucky enough to have received one of the 2000 that were printed, then you already know this. This allows Brian to point out how much difference good communication makes. Read the New Jersey profile and note that it makes you want to worship there and live there, even if you can't be the bishop. Our three rules of good communication are 'know your audience, know your
medium, know your message'. If you are preparing a website, or thinking about it, or if you maintain one, think about your medium. On an entirely separate topic, we're moving ahead with our plans for a Homiletics section of Anglicans Online, and we've found an editor for it. We expect to launch our Homiletics page before Advent. We thank you for all of your encouraging comments. See you next week. Until then, would you do us the favour of having a look at some of the 50 new parish websites, and at Cynthia's amazing profile of the Diocese of New Jersey? They're all listed in New This Week.
