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 major sites to which we link.

World
Africa
Libya: Tripoli, Christ the King [Note from the submitter: 'After the 1969 revolution that brought Qadhafi to power, this Anglican church was confiscated. It had originally been an Italian military chapel, outside a barracks, which the British army converted to a garrison church when they defeated the Italians during the war. After that it was a downward slide, especially after the London killing of PC Fletcher and then Lockerbie. Now there is resurrection. The congregation is growing so much that there are now three: the Nigerian ('on fire', says the Bishop), the Arabic-speaking, and the English-speaking. A lay minister has just been ordained deacon for the Arabic-speaking congregation.]
