Noted This Week

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
An issue! An issue! We all fall down: Mark Oakley writes in the Church Times (London). 'In 1930, the Lambeth Conference concluded that Anglicans stand for “an open Bible, a pastoral priesthood, a common worship, a standard of conduct consistent with that worship and a fearless love of truth”. My fear is that those who would now homogenise our Church place some of these at severe risk.'

Coexistence: From the Christian Century (Chicago). 'Williams was arguing that Christians can be faithful to their religious identity and also allow others, in this case Muslims, to be faithful to their identity, and that all can coexist in a pluralistic democracy. Militants on all sides—Christians, Muslims and secularists—are convinced he's wrong. Let us hope, for the sake of civic peace and religious fidelity, that he's not.'
