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.

Resources

Worth Noting
Archiepiscopal Enigma: 'I strongly suspect that Dr Williams finds a biography even more painful than having his portrait painted. A new portrait by Victoria Russell hangs in the privacy of his dining-room at Lambeth. His biography will bulk out many an inquisitive Christmas stocking.' Christopher Howse writes in the Telegraph (London).

Can religion help us through the slump?: The Guardian (London) asked five columnists this question. Their answers are here in the Comment is free section.

The Margaret Parker Memorial Lecture and Webcast: 'What are the keys to peace and justice through the empowerment of women, especially amid the challenges of the current global financial context?' Katharine Jefferts Schori inaugurates the Diocese of Los Angeles (US) new lecture series. The Presiding Bishop is introduced by one of Parker's sons, Richard, an economist and Harvard lecturer. Available as an on-demand streamed video webcast.
