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
An Unrealistic Proposal: Ephraim Radner writes for the Living Church (Milwaukee) about ecclesiastical litigation and Haiti. 'My proposal is this: that all those Anglicans involved in litigation amongst one another in North America [...] herewith cease all court battles over property. And, having done this, they do two further things: a. devote the forecast amount they were planning to spend on such litigation to the rebuilding of the Episcopal Church and its people in Haiti; and b. sit down with one another, prayerfully and for however long it takes, and with whatever mediating and facilitating presence they accept, and agree to a mutually agreed process for dealing with contested property.'

Stats and more stats: The Church of England has released statistics related to attendance and sacramental functions during 2008. Thinking Anglicans provides a roundup of commentary and resources related to these numbers.

My preference would be a village parish in northern England or Scotland. I am currently the rector of a parish in Westborough, Massachusetts, approximately thirty miles west of Boston, and forty miles northwest of Providence, Rhode Island.

Worth Noting
I am a closet Christian: At least, I was until now. Because in my circle, nothing is more embarrassing than being religious.

In Defense of the Liberal Arts: Jon Meacham writes for Newsweek (US). 'I love Sewanee, an Episcopal university tucked away on 13,000 rural acres of the Cumberland Plateau. It is a place where students and faculty wear academic gowns to class, where the vice chancellor also serves as mayor, and where I spent four years without having a key to my room, much less locking it. Modernity intrudes with a single full-time traffic light on campus, but for years that incursion was ameliorated by the sight of a professor of religion's cat taking a daily nap on the street directly beneath the light. People knew to steer clear.'
