WHENEVER WE LEARN about a web site that we haven't previously listed, we'll note it here. Sometimes such sites are brand new and sometimes they have been around for a while without our having noticed. 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. We do not mention on this page remakes of sites that are already in our listings.

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. If you still can't find it, please let us know.

If you would like your website listed at Anglicans Online, please use this form to tell us about it.

Worth Noting
Change Ringers Sound Giant Bells with Precision: 'Charleston is blessed. It is home to four change-ringing bell towers, more than any other city in North America. The Holy City's bells are a magnet for ringers around the world. Or, rather, they are the iron to which the magnets are drawn. The ringers come. They peal. Then they go out and socialize.' From the Post and Courier (Charleston).

Worth Noting
The Bishop's Daughter: Honor Moore, daughter of the late Paul Moore, sometime Bishop of New York, talks in this interview about her father. The younger Moore's book The Bishop's Daughter will be published in May 2008.

Principled or Petulant?: Libby Purves writes in the Times (London) on the refusal of some Oxford students to say grace. 'Nobody forced them to apply to a 453-year-old institution (there are other Oxford colleges) nor to accept the scholarship when it was offered. It would be brave and principled to refuse the honour and the money on grounds of atheism.'

Thou shalt not offend anyone: Giles Fraser writes in the Guardian (London) on the a BBC Easter programme. 'Without the impression that Jesus was threatening revolution, it's tough to see why the story proceeds to the cross. The kingdom of God is not just an inner glow of general benevolence. Jesus believed it to be nothing less than God's reign on earth. Which is why the story "nice guy enters Jerusalem and causes chaos" makes precious little narrative or historical sense.'
