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.

Church History
British State Prayers Project. 'For four hundred years, from the 1540s to the 1940s, English monarchs and British governments summoned the nation to special acts of public worship, whether in times of crisis (e.g. conspiracies, plague, bad weather) or celebration (e.g. military victories, royal births). Most of these events are unstudied, and their long history - a remarkable continuity between early-modern and recent times - remains obscure. This project will for the first time bring together information and texts for these special observances, define their nature and purposes, and demonstrate their wider religious, political and cultural significance.'

There is no litmus test: we invite applications from everyone. We are of one mind about valuing openness and diversity.'

Worth Noting
Letters of Bishop John Dauglish to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel: Read his epistles to the SPG in the Nassau Quarterly. Don't know who Bishop Dauglish is? Another reason to read his letters then.

Meet the Primate-elect — Nigerian-style: An interview with the Right Reverend Nicholas Okoh. Well, sort of an interview.

Worth Noting
Anglican rite!: Mary Valle writes for Killing the Buddha. Read it to believe it.

Burying the Dead: Our friends at Full Homely Divinity have written a fine essay on Christian customs associated with funerals and burial. 'the way we deal with death touches us at the very heart of our faith. The way we deal with the dead speaks volumes about what we truly believe and recovering our distinctive funeral customs must be understood as an intrinsic part of our witness to the Gospel.'

Good Grief?: Alan Wilson writes for the Guardian (London) on social networking and grieving. 'As a pastor, it strikes me that social networking sites like Facebook could play an important, even vital, role in helping people grieve. [...] Like the burgeoning roadside shrines which are now springing up around England, they mark genuine love, and a new kind of communal response to death.'

The Vatican thirst for power divides Christianity and damages Catholicism: Hans Küng weighs in on Pope Benedict's invitation to Anglicans. .
