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.

Episcopal Elections
Ongoing
The Diocese of Connecticut has announced the names of nominees in its search for a new diocesan bishop. We are puzzled by the existence of two websites providing information on this process, one at http://www.ctbishopelection.com and the other at http://www.ctbishopsearch.com.

The Diocese of Wyoming has launched two dedicated websites—a .com and a .org—that provide information about its bishop search.

Worth Noting
The food pantry is a Eucharistic community: Jane Shaw writes for the Guardian (London). 'This is the diversity of God's human community in reality, not a committee discussion about diversity, which is what we Anglicans usually tend towards.'

Africa

Kitabu cha Sala za Kanuni. Chad Wohlers has digitized the 1919 Book of Common Prayer according to the Use of the Church of Zanzibar.

No English translation of the Swahili text was ever published.

England
Official Information
Senior Appointments. Our friends at Thinking Anglicans note this new 'section of the Church of England website that contains information on the current procedures for the selection of diocesan bishops, suffragan bishops, deans, archdeacons, and residentiary canons'. It strikes us as a fine step in the direction of transparency for a process that has seemed at times opaque.

Organised by the Friends of Little Gidding.
