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.

Worth Noting
Look Who's a Believer Now: Timothy Larsen writes for the Wall Street Journal (New York) on A. N. Wilson's recent return to Christian faith. 'As is the case with Mr. Wilson, intellectuals often pursue long, drawn-out love affairs with Christian thought. Next time you hear someone fume that God is the most contemptible being who never existed, keep in mind that you just might be watching the first act of a divine romantic comedy.'

Michael Ramsey Prize for Theological Writing 2009: This year's winner is Richard Bauckham for Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony. The Church Times (London) has reviewed titles nominated for this prize.

Book of Common Prayer
Portions of the Book of Common Prayer in Nlaka'pamux or Thompson. These translations of services from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer were prepared by English SPG missionary John Booth Good (1833-1916) between 1878 and 1880. Linguists refer to this highly endangered south-central British Columbian language as Thompson or Nlaka'pamux. It is classified as an Interior Salish language; there are believed to be fewer than 600 speakers of Thompson / Nlaka'pamux today.

Worth Noting
Archbishop's Presidential Address to the Anglican Consultative Council: 'the Gospel seems to be saying to us: first face your failure; your failure, not your neighbour's; your failure, your turning away; not theirs, not his, not hers; then ask how can it be made glorious? And maybe that's another thing to take back to our Provinces.' The Archbishop of Canterbury's 11 May address is available online for reading and audio download.

More than a brief flight through warmth and light: Roderick Strange writes for the Times (London) on the Venerable Bede.
