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 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.

First Hand Account of Strife in Zimbabwe: 'Thomas Shaw, the Episcopal Bishop of Massachusetts, just returned from a secret, week-long trip to Zimbabwe. While there, he witnessed the economic strife that has left the country with soaring inflation and sky high energy and food costs. The Bishop also says Anglicans are being targeted, with church property stolen and parishioners prevented from holding church services.'

The Long Road To Forgiveness: 'Kim Phuc is best known as the girl in the famous photo of a Vietnam War napalm-bombing attack near Saigon.' In this moving audio story, she recounts her life since then, noting that 'Napalm is very powerful but faith, forgiveness and love are much more powerful. We would not have war at all if everyone could learn how to live with true love, hope and forgiveness. If that little girl in the picture can do it, ask yourself: Can you?'

YouTube Monks Storm European Pop Charts: 'The monks of Heiligenkreuz Abbey in Austria sing ancient Gregorian chants in their 12th-century church—and then post them to YouTube. Their technological savvy landed them a record deal, and now their album is storming the European charts and arriving in America. Father Karl Wallner talks to host Andrea Seabrook [of American National Public Radio] about balancing pop stardom with the religious life.'

Worth Noting
Bees at Lambeth: Christopher Howse writes for the Telegraph (London). 'The bees are back at Lambeth Palace. Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, sought out experts to set up hives in its grounds shortly after his appointment, and now there are 10.'

Evolving Judaism and Anglicanism: Rabbi Elizabeth Tikvah Sarah for the Guardian (London). 'It seems to me, as a Progressive Jew, that Anglicanism now stands at a crossroads. It is ironic that the Church of England, founded by an English monarch determined to wrest power and authority from Rome, should find it so hard to challenge its established power structures and recreate itself anew today. But Henry XIII [sic!] created a schism in the church.' It's a bit devastating to see a reference to Henry XIII in an otherwise interesting article—Ed.
