Noted This Week

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.

World
Resources
Argentina:
ASocIANA '(an acronym for "Social Support of the Anglican Church of Northern Argentina") is the successor of a long history of commitment of the Anglican Church to the Indian peoples of this region and to their wellbeing. This history goes back to the first Anglican missionaries who came to live among the Wichi and Toba Indians at the beginning of the last century (1910)'

Worth Noting
All Things Archiepiscopal: 'As the youngest Archbishop of Canterbury in two centuries, he carried many expectations of a dazzling new age for his church — unrealistic expectations in fact, even for a man of his charisma and commitment: the worldwide Anglican Communion remains grievously split over sexuality. He's both loved and lampooned.' BBC Wales interviews the Archbishop of Canterbury for its Sunday programme All Things Considered.

The Church and Mammon: Meg Gilley writes for Thinking Anglicans. 'Money is a language. God will speak to us in whatever language we are able to listen. If there is a crisis with money, what is God saying? When I consider the Financial Crisis on a theological level (and of course it can and must be read on other levels as well), I hear a condemnation of our society’s love of money and insatiable appetites that must be satisfied now. We do need to repent and rebuild our infrastructure on better values.'

Virginia's Departing Episcopal Bishop on Church Changes: Michelle Boorstein of the Washington Post interviews Bishop Peter Lee, one of the longest-tenured bishops in the Anglican Communion, as he prepares to retire.
