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.

Breaking the Surface: One can't read anything Anglican or Christian at this time of the year without finding reflections on the Meaning of It All. Some are maudlin, others startling, and some simply boring. Not so with the American writer Anne Lamott, in her essay in Salon. (If you're sensitive to expletives, read with caution.) We'll take the expletives for the sheer audacity and truth of her writing.

Waiting for the Light: Beth Maynard writes for The Living Church (Milwaukee). "I often tell people that the best liturgy I ever witnessed was an Easter Vigil at Boston's Church of the Advent in the early 1990s," Beth Maynard writes. "Friends were having a baby baptized, and I arrived at the church with only the instructions to come look for them somewhere 'up front.'"
