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.

Worth Noting
Disagreeing Christianly: Unity, Humility and Prophecy: Graham Kings writes on timely topics in this essay, an 'edited version of an address given to the Diocese of Lichfield World Mission Conference at Swanwick, Derbyshire, on 8 July 2008'.

A broad church with narrow attitudes: a former editor of The Times, Sir Simon Jenkins, wonders if anyone would care if the Church of England tears itself apart.

Finding a fitting stone reminder: Christopher Howse writes in the Telegraph (London) on gravestones. 'Harriet Frazer has spent the past 20 years promoting Memorials by Artists, an organisation that puts people in touch with good lettercutters and stone-carvers. Any profits from the enterprise go to the Memorial Arts Charity, which promotes good arts and crafts for memorials (not all of which are set up above graves). In 2002, she was honoured for her work with an MBE. I think she deserves a public statue.' Worth noting, too, is the organization discussed in this article, Memorials by Artists.

Lambeth Reader: 'This Reader contains background reading for the Lambeth Conference. A number of the papers have been published in other places and at other times. The papers are collected together and re-published in this volume for the convenience of those who will be attending the Lambeth Conference. All the material is the product of particular Anglican Communion groups or networks, or has been written particularly for this Reader.' Adobe Acrobat file.

Signs on the Way: 'This special series - focusing on St John’s Gospel - complements the Bible studies in which the bishops and their spouses will take part during the Lambeth Conference 2008. [...] The studies are structured so that they can be used either by groups or by individuals. They can form the basis of personal devotions, a church study group or perhaps a diocesan meeting.'

Worth Noting
Bienvenido a la Iglesia Episcopal: Spanish-language version of portions of the re-designed Episcopal Church USA website. 'La Oficina de Comunicación continúa trabajando para que usted pueda informarse sobre la vida y obra de la Iglesia Episcopal y, además, encontrar otros recursos útiles. Visite esta página frecuentemente, pues continuará siendo actualizada.' [Lo siento!—Ed.]

Grotesque Introspection: Stephen Glover writes for the Daily Mail (London). 'when our own century throws up its different but perhaps no less appalling social problems, our national Church, far from trying to fill this frightening moral vacuum, is too busy talking to itself.'

Vidimus: 'the only on-line magazine devoted to medieval stained glass. Vidimus appears monthly and subscription is free.' 'We hope to encourage interest in medieval and later stained glass, and to promote the work of the CVMA (GB), [a] national survey of medieval stained glass. A vidimus ('we have seen') was the approved design for a window in medieval times.'

When Compromise Fails: An anonymous writer in The Economist opines on and summarises 'Canterbury's cares'. 'What makes a group (of voters, relatives, believers) stick together, even when its membership is varied and quarrelsome? Sometimes deference to a common authority; sometimes fear of adversaries; sometimes common axioms that trump any differences; and sometimes a sentimental 'family feeling' that makes people tolerant of eccentricity or even obnoxious behaviour. If none of those factors is present, then break-up looms.'

Caught in the middle: With Anglican bonds stretched to breaking point, not everyone can be appeased, writes Andrew West in the Sydney Morning Herald.

Return to the heart of Anglicanism: In an address to the USPG, the Archbishop of Armagh (Alan Harper) called for a return to the approach of Richard Hooker in seeking to find the law of God in scripture. And he recalled the 16th century divine's admonition in the preface to the Lawes of Ecclesiastical Polity, 'There will come a time when three words uttered with charity and meekness shall receive a far more blessed reward than three thousand volumes written with disdainful sharpness of wit.'
