WHENEVER WE LEARN about a web site that we haven't previously listed, we 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.

Not an abstract idea, but a visible society: Geoffrey Rowell writes for the Times (London). 'Synods are certainly not perfect, but at their best they enable the service of God's kingdom of justice and love and peace. There was much in what was said and done in the recent General Synod that did just that.'
