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.

Resources

Worth Noting
A Communion of Churches: Michael Poon writes on the historic significance of the Anglican Covenant. 'It begins by examining the nature and reasons of the "ecclesial deficit" of the Anglican Communion. It points out that the ecclesial status of the Anglican Communion has never been clarified. The Anglican Communion arises historically as an accident. It has never been constituted as an ecclesial body. The paper traces the transformations in the Anglican ecclesiastical map amid powerful global undercurrents in the second half of the twentieth century.'

The Lure of Last Words: Nicholas Papadopulos writes on last words, Christ's and ours, in the Times (London). 'The last words of the dying fascinate us. This fascination testifies to our unchanging interest in words. We are more aware than any other generation of our capacity for abusing them: we are weary of the spin of politicians; we are unimpressed by the polish of advertisers; we are appalled at the motives of demagogues. Yet still we are fascinated by words.'

Same-Sex Relationships in the Life of the Church: The US Episcopal Church's House of Bishops has published a draft of a 95-page report with this title. Thinking Anglicans notes: 'This is really two reports, one from the “Traditionalists” and one from the "Liberals"'.

World
Schools and Education
India: St Paul's School, Darjeeling. 'Located 7500 feet above sea level and acclaimed as the highest public school in the world, the origin and early history of this well known institution, the second oldest in Bengal, dates as far back as the year 1823 when John William Ricketts, a prominent Anglo-Indian leader, conceived the idea of founding a public school to meet the needs of the growing Anglo-Indian population in Calcutta.'

Worth Noting
Hot cross buns: Jean Fitzpatrick writes for the Daily Episcopalian. 'They inhabit that ambiguous cultural realm of grassroots customs and practices that connect us to who we are and where we've come from. In their annual reappearance the buns tie us to the procession of ordinary mortals who came before us, and to everyone else who seeks them out.'

Two great commandments: Geoffrey Rowell writes for the Times (London). 'In the end "I am" can only be known in relationship and the fundamental relationship is with God. That is why the two great commandments that Jesus gave us are the love of God with all our heart and mind and soul and strength, and the love of our neighbour as ourselves.'
