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.

Africa
Resources
Chauncy Maples Project. The oldest ship still afloat in Africa is the Chauncy Maples, launched by the Universities Mission to Central Africa as a free hospital ship on Lake Malawi. The Chauncy Maples was constructed in 1898-1901, and refitted in 1933 and 1967; it is time for a renovation to enable the ship to provide medical care in a third century.

Book of Common Prayer

Worth Noting
Notes from the Tangled Anglican Web: Mary Jane Rubenstein writes for Killing the Buddha. 'If we assert that the bishops of the South are fighting someone else’s battle—that they are defending a gospel that came from the North against a new sexual ethic that’s also coming from the North, by means of a Northern-style homophobia enforced with Northern cash—then it begins to look as though nothing is really African, or Asian, or South American at all.'

A Traditionalist who Shakes Tradition: In the American news magazine Newsweek, Lisa Miller writes about the Reverend Canon Mary Glasspool and her election to the episcopate : 'Nobody seems to care that the new Episcopal bishop of Los Angeles is a lesbian. Don't blame distraction by the Catholics'.
