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 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
John Betjeman on the wireless: Christopher Howse writes in the Telegraph (London) on a new release of Betjeman's poems, some of which have not been before published. 'I congratulate Professor Gardner and his publishers for their enterprise in bringing out this scholarly and entertaining little book.'

The spark of God within us is truth: Musonda Trevor Selwyn Mwamba, Bishop of Botswana, writes in the Times (London). 'Our problem is that we don’t know that we are one with God. Hence our preoccupation with labels we think define us: I’m a sinner, I’m a saint, I’m useless, I’m important, I am pretty, I am ugly, and so on. These are all labels, clothing, which cover our nakedness because we do not take cognisance of who we are. We are more than labels. To the extent that we believe these labels, we believe a lie.'

The Ten Week Course: Dave Walker's cartoon compares the offerings of the Alpha Course with the offerings of Sunday morning in church.

A trivial meandering on facial hair: 'I made an idle mental connection between the wearing of beards and a hostility to modernity. A moment later, I thought of Rowan Williams.' Giles Fraser writes in the Church Times (London).

Worth Noting
Motes, beams and stocks: George Pitcher writes in the Telegraph (London). 'None of this invalidates what our Archbishops have to say about the markets. We just need to be sure that they aren’t pointing at motes in the eyes of City traders, without noticing the planks in their own investment vision.' Financial Times (also London) chimes in here as well. See too this article from the Spectator (London) in which the Archbishop of Canterbury seeks to demythologize 'the market': 'The mythologies and abstractions, the pseudo-objects of much modern financial culture, are in urgent need of their own Dawkins or Hitchens.'

The Red Archbishop: Andrew Brown writes for the Guardian (London) about what he calls 'Rowan Williams' attack on global capitalism'. '[...] the one thing you can't say is that this is a knee-jerk response, or a piece of publicity seeking. The belief that capitalism tends towards evil is one of his deepest convictions.'
