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.

Worldwide, 2011: The 400th anniversary of the KJV
'The 2011 Trust has been established to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible which was completed in 1611. There have been few more important single publications and its impact through history has been colossal. 2011 will be launched at Hampton Court, where the translation was commissioned at the 1604 Conference. The year will close on 16 November 2011 with a service in Westminster Abbey where, in the Jerusalem Chamber, the final editing of the Bible was completed.'

'On September 12, 1979, the General Convention of the Episcopal Church approved the 1979 edition of the Book of Common Prayer for final adoption. Unlike its predecessors the 1979 edition included a paradigm shift designed to meet the different needs and hopes of a late Twentieth Century Church. Each of the lectures in the Prayer Book at 30 series will focus on innovative aspects of the Book of Common Prayer 1979, comparing expectations with actual experience, and looking for emerging trends in its continuing use.'
