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.

The New York Times Book Review carries this review of Steven Waldman's Founding Faith: Providence, Politics, and the Birth of Religious Freedom in America. Reviewer Richard Brookhiser writes: 'Perhaps the strongest supporters of the separation of church and state in the founding era were the communicants of a new, vigorous church, the Baptists. From 1760 to 1778 there were 56 jailings of Baptist preachers in Anglican Virginia. When the Rev. James Ireland continued to preach through the window of his cell, two supporters of the 39 Articles put a bench to the wall, stood on it and urinated in his face. No Barsetshire atmosphere in the New World.'

Worth Noting
Holy Week Lectures by the Archbishop of Canterbury: Thinking Anglicans has a roundup of links and comment related to the archbishop's lectures on Faith and Science, Faith and Politics, and Faith and History.

Liverpool Cathedral performance: From the BBC Religion and Ethics Sunday programme. 'Liverpool's Gothic Anglican cathedral is full of extraordinary spaces, some of which will be filled next month by the theatre company DreamThinkSpeak who are performing the world premiere of One Step Forward, One Step Back. The production is inspired by Dante's Paradiso and uses parts of the cathedral never seen by the public before.'

We need faith, and reality points us to a belief in God: Geoffrey Rowell writes in the Times (London) on faith and creeds. 'reality points us to the God who made us, and whose being and action the Christian creeds confess, as one who is a communion of love, and life, and relationship, the source of our being, the ground of our knowing, the goal of our living.'
