Noted This Week

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
Dialogue is a means of God-given discovery: 'The Archbishop [of Canterbury] gave an address at the Christian Muslim Forum Conference of Scholars, held at Lambeth Palace. As founder patron of the organisation, the Archbishop talked with other Christian and Muslim scholars about whether dialogue can really deal with religious differences without avoidance or compromise. Other speakers included Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad, Maulana Yunus Mohammed and Dr John Azumah.'

RS Thomas, spiritual Clint Eastwood: Luke Coppen, editor of The Catholic Herald, writes in the Guardian about his favourite religious poet. Thomas (1913-2000) was an Anglican priest, an ardent Welsh nationalist and 'a world-class curmudgeon', who has been described as 'a loner taking on the universe, a kind of Clint Eastwood of the spirit'.

Spiritual Amnesia: Diana Butler Bass writes for the Huffington Post. 'At the present juncture of history, Western Christianity is suffering from a bad case of spiritual amnesia. Even those who claim to be devout or conservative often know little about the history of their faith traditions. Our loss of memory began more than two centuries ago, at the high tide of the Enlightenment. As modern society developed, the condition of broken memory -- being disconnected from the past -- became more widespread.'

You shall have eternal indaba. 'The arrival of Continuing Indaba on the Internet as part of the Anglican Communion web site makes visible the preparatory work already in hand for the series of pilot conversations between dioceses from different parts of the Communion to take place during 2010 and 2011.'

Book of Common Prayer
Liturgien, eller den Almindelige Bønnebog (1896). This translation of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer in to Danish was published in several editions for use on the Danish islands of St Croix and St Thomas, as well as among Danish Anglican communities in Canada and elsewhere.
