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
Measuring British religion: Nick Spencer writes for the Guardian (London). 'Religion is too broad and complex a topic to lend itself to single, easy, incontestable measures. Church attendance does not measure the strength of Christianity in this country, any more than the 2001 census does.'

Thinking Aloud: The Right Revd David Chillingworth has been elected Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church. He is to our knowledge the only primate with a weblog.
