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.

Dioceses
India: Diocese of Karimnagar - http://karimnagar.anglican.org

Worth Noting
The ride to salvation in lowly pomp on a donkey: Geoffrey Rowell writes for the Times (London). 'As this week Christians walk the way of the Cross it is to be renewed in that faith, and in that love — in the God whose love will never let us down and will never let us go.'

Resisting the urge to scapegoat: Savi Hensman writes for Ekklesia. 'In Christian belief, being truly attentive to the One who is present in the needy and marginalised (Matthew chapter 25), and who was willing to be sacrificed in order to set others free from destructive patterns of victimising or being victimised, is necessary to achieve fullness of life. Beyond familiar cycles of scapegoating and death lies the hope of an empty tomb.'

The Seven Last Words of Christ: Full Homely Divinity provides a short Holy Week devotional service for the Seven Last Words.

When Sacraments Shall Cease: Kevin A. Montgomery's 2006 thesis on the development of the epiclesis in the Episcopal Church USA's 1979 Book of Common Prayer is now available online in Adobe Acrobat format.
