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
Does Charlotte Temple rest in peace? 'Tucked inside the graveyard of Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan, it is a weathered brownstone slab about the size of a refrigerator. Carved across it in inch-tall letters is the name Charlotte Temple. At first glance, it seems like any tribute to the deceased. But Ms. Temple appears to have been make-believe.' C. J. Hughes writes in the New York Times.

Just Thinking: From time to time our friends at Thinking Anglicans write reflective pieces. Several essays posted under this category during Advent have been especially thought-provoking.

Liturgical Influences of Anglo-Catholicism on The Waste Land and Other Works by T. S. Eliot: This Ph.D. dissertation written by A. Lee Fjordbotten in 1999 is now available online.

Which Jesus? Simon Barrow writes for Ekklesia. 'This is the specific challenge of Advent. Who is the Jesus who we hope will be born in our hearts and in our world? What can be achieved through him? And how shall we respond, personally and collectively, in this time and place?'
