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.

Please note: if you submitted a listing for this page between March 3 and March 11, please re-submit it. Our haste in responding to an internet security alert caused us to make a mistake in installing the security update for our server. The only side-effect of that mistake was the disabling of that feature.

World
United Arab Emirates: Chaplaincy of Dubai and Sharjah with the Northern Emirates (Cyprus and the Gulf)
Note from the submitter: 'The primary church of the Chaplaincy, Holy Trinity Dubai, is one of the most active Anglican churches in the world. Because it extends hospitality to other Christian groups who have nowhere to worship, it sometimes has as many as 6,000 people worshiping on a Sunday. During the week it may have 7,000 people through its doors'.
