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
Eurobishop: There are now many blogging bishops, but among the best is this one by the Rt Revd David Hamid, suffragan Bishop in Europe.

G.F. Bodley: Country Life profiles G.F. Bodley, who worked with William Morris, and by the end of the 19th century had become 'the most influential architect at work in the Church of England.'

Minister Preaches a Green Message: The Wall Street Journal features this story about Grace Cathedral, San Francisco's Sally Bingham. 'As one of just a few "canons to the environment" in the Episcopalian Church, Ms. Bingham focuses her ministry efforts on improving the environment. She helped Grace Cathedral become greener with energy-efficient lightbulbs and appliances and negotiated with Pacific Gas & Electric Co. to put solar panels on the cathedral. Ms. Bingham also launched Interfaith Power & Light, a nationwide network of 10,000 congregations that are committed to fighting global warming by reducing their carbon footprints and lobbying for environmental policies.'

Sects and the City. a review of the Dictionary of Dublin Dissent alludes to the Walkerites, named after an Anglican minister who resigned to form his own assembly. In 1815 the congregation split over the kissing controversy. Walker took literally St Paul's injunctions to 'salute one another with a holy kiss', but some of his followers were too enthusiastic in this regard, causing a split between 'the kissers' and 'the anti-kissers'.
