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.

Events
England: Worcester College, Oxford, 6-8 April 2009: The Early Modern Parish Church Conference
'This conference will provide a forum to assess the role and significance of the parish church in the early modern period. This interdisciplinary conference will attract papers from art historians, architectural historians, legal historians, archaeologists, as well as historians and ecclesiastical historians. Rather than a series of case studies of particular churches, it is hoped that this conference will provide a better understanding of the evolution and importance of this religious building within communities across Europe during the confessional, economic, political and social changes of the early modern period. A call for papers will be announced in Spring 2008 but for initial expressions of interest and to receive further details about the conference, please contact Kathryn Johnson at kjohnson@brookes.ac.uk. More information is available here.

Worth Noting

Worth Noting
Neither Private nor Privileged: The Role of Christianity in Britain Today: Nick Spencer writes for Fulcrum. 'The argument of this essay is that the debates should occur on the foundation of the argument from public good. The rallying cries for privatisation or privilege may stir the blood but do not reflect the subtleties and complexities of a historically-Christian but unprecedentedly plural, modern democratic state.'

Shakespeare's Grave: 'Renovators in the church where William Shakespeare's bones lie are being careful not to disturb his grave. The famous bard left a poem warning of a curse should his bones be moved from the Stratford-upon-Avon site. But people walking on his epitaph have left their mark.' Jon Kay reports in this brief BBC video.

The song from the silence: A lovely meditation from the Church Times (London) on the Feast of the Visitation. 'It is easily and often neglected. Nevertheless, it should have a special place in Christians’ hearts as marking the occasion in scripture when the Lord’s mother has the most to say for herself; for it is, above all, the festival of the Magnificat — of our Lady baring her soul.'

Staying Involved: Douglas LeBlanc writes in Episcopal Life Online (New York) on positive models of participation and belonging for conservative US Episcopalians. 'Conservatives hear frequently that our voices are an important part of the Episcopal Church. One great way to test that assertion is to speak up about what we believe. In short, we will respect our church's declarations of inclusion by being ourselves. We will trust God, in the fullness of time, to resolve those matters that divide us.'

Taking an Appreciative Path at Lambeth: Andrew Gerns of Trinity Church, Easton, Pennsylvania writes on a recent press conference in New York City. 'The conventional wisdom is wrong. At least about the Lambeth Conference.' [Editors' note: one AO editor's mother took childbirth classes in the parish hall of Trinity Church, Easton; the world is small.]
