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
Bishop of the Poor: Rowan Williams on Edward King (1829-1910), Bishop of Lincoln: 'he reinvented what a diocesan bishop could be and do, I think, in terms of accessibility, concern for the poorest − not something that other 19th century bishops had ignored, but certainly something that he brought to the fore in a quite fresh way'.

Presidential Address: James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool speaks theologically on matters ethical. 'This address has been about how we handle disagreements about ethical principles within the Body of Christ. It is also about how we promote a Christian humanism whereby we discover before God both how to flourish as human beings in Christ and how to treat each other humanely in the process of that discovery. It is my plea that the Church of England and the Anglican Communion must allow a variety of ethical views on the subject as in this Diocese we do'.

The Sacrament of Lent: Ralph McMichael writes for The Living Church (Milwaukee). 'For the remainder of this Lent, let's give up our anxiety for the new and practice the newness of Christ's eucharistic presence.'

Worth Noting

The old doctrines are not enough: Tom Sutcliffe writes in The Guardian, 'The church must provide a valid assertion of truth about life that can stand comparison truths and wisdom drawn from science'.

From Genesis to Waugh: books offering spiritual uplift Church leaders, politicians, aid workers and commentators reveal what they are reading for Lent. (The Times, London)

Healed of the Sin of Religion: At Church with Sara Miles. Lisa Webster writes for ReligionDispatches: 'the juxtaposition of beer factory and house of God is not out of line with the way Sara Miles, now Director of Ministry at St. Gregory's, understands the sacred and the role of church'.
