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 major sites to which we link.

News Centre
Voices of bishops. Denying the alligator (allegator?). Harare bishop reaches for increased powers. Kenya's churches urged to resist the West. New Liberian leader is an Anglican official. Murdered Melanesian Brothers were not spies. New cathedral in Ghana. All this, and more, in the News Centre.

Not in the Communion
The Anglican Church International Communion: Formed 17 November 2001 in Atlanta [Georgia, USA]. 'The new communion is the first step toward bringing greater unity to the much splintered continuing "churches" throughout the world.  The guiding principles state "this is a traditional communion dedicated to bring peace and unity to all anglican worshipers," and adhere to the 1928 Book of Common Prayer and the 1962 Canadian Book of Common Prayer. Signatories to this historic document are The Rt. Rev. Larry W. Johnson, Bishop of Virginia; The Rt. Rev. Lafond LaPointe, Bishop of Haiti; The Rt. Rev. Luther Pierre-Toussaint, Bishop of Haiti; The Rt. Rev. Vincent Thakore, Bishop of the South; and The Rt. Rev. Melvin H. Pickering, Bishop of the Diocese of the Holy Sacrament'.
     The one diocese at the moment—we think it's a diocese, although it's not linked from the ACIC home page—is the Anglican Church in Virginia, whose URL is www.theanglicanchurch.net. (We're confused by now, we admit it.)

Worth Noting

C of E, RIP: The Anglican church's infighting about gays masks the real issue—that its days are numbered. In The Guardian, Theo Hobson argues that the current row over homosexuality is really an argument about the structure of the church. (Interested in more of Hobson's essays on disestablishment? See http://www.disestablish.co.uk.)

Antay Bilgutay: Finally, his faith finds a welcoming home. 'I grew up without religion. It was a choice my parents made, one being Muslim, the other Lutheran...'

Kindness begins in the hearts of innocents: the Sydney Morning Herald reports on an interfaith effort to combat prejudice in a school in New South Wales.

A view from Barbados: Caribbean writer Peter Laurie, writing in the Barbados Daily Nation, reflects on the short- and long-term impact of the Gene Robinson appointment.
