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.

Preaching resources
Preaching Peace: 'This web project is a set of reflections on the texts of the Revised Common Lectionary, informed by study of Rene Girard and his mimetic theory. Exegesis is by a priest in the Episcopal Church in the USA and a former Lutheran pastor. It is time to let the Gospel speak clearly about God's rejection of violence and the murder of the scapegoat, and it is equally time to speak clearly about the presence of violence in some of our biblical texts and their human (not divine) origins'. The Sundays of Advent are complete at this time.
