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.

'For the Christian the scriptures point to Christ, and, as well as being read and heard publicly in the worship of the Church, they are to be used and pondered on reflectively.'

Henry Chadwick, RIP: The Guardian (London) carries this obituary of the learned priest-scholar Henry Chadwick (1920-2008). 'there can be no doubt that Henry will be remembered as one of the most influential and admired Anglicans of the century, in church and academy alike'.

Whither the Promotion of Christian Knowledge?: 'Bookshops that the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge used to run in cathedral cities are bare, desolate, a dwelling-place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing.' Christopher Howse writes for the Telegraph (London).

Worth Noting
Reading and Reshaping the Anglican Communion: Graham Kings writes for Religious Intelligence. 'Next month, the Lambeth Conference will be a pivotal moment for reading and reshaping our Communion. Let us pray for the Archbishop of Canterbury, the bishops and their spouses - for wisdom and insight, holiness and mercy and for the Holy Spirit to indwell the whole gathering, leading it in the ways of Christ, to the glory of God the Father.'

Face to Faith: Andrew Clitherow writes in the Guardian (London) on a visit to a local recycling centre. His essay includes this find quotation from George McLeod: 'I simply argue that the cross be raised again at the centre of the market place as well as on the steeple of the church. I am recovering the claim that Jesus was not crucified in a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between two thieves, on the town garbage heap, at a crossroads so cosmopolitan they had to write his title in Hebrew, Latin and Greek. It was the kind of place where cynics talk smut, thieves curse, and soldiers gamble. That's where he died. And that's where Christians ought to be and what Christians ought to be about.'

Wake up to how people really see the C of E: Mark Hope-Urwin writes in the Church Times (London) on perceptions and perceptions of perceptions. 'Recent history is littered with businesses and organisations that thought their message or product was so good that the public would always continue to support them. A common thread is often their arrogance as they failed to spot changes — either in loyalty to their brand, or in the population — and failed to adapt their promotion of the product to take account of the changes. They had lost touch with their customers.'
