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
What is the Standing Committee?: 'What powers does it have? When does it meet? Who are the current members? How are they elected? I have heard it said that some churches get more votes than others. Why is that? What kinds of things are regularly on the agenda of the Standing Committee? How does the Anglican Communion Office staff relate to the Committee? Who has the power to appoint any replacements? What will the Standing Committee be doing this week?' Who knew? From the Anglican Communion Office's website.

Why I won't pay for St Paul's: Theo Hobson writes for guardian.co.uk on entrance fees and churches. 'My reluctance to pay is not really a matter of meanness, but of principle. By excluding people, especially young people who are often time-rich but money-poor, and spiritually curious, the C of E is edging them away from a sense that England's religious heritage is theirs – that it is not just for tourists, and not just for worshippers at actual services; it is also theirs to browse.'

Worth Noting
British Religion in Numbers: BRIN 'is an online religious data resource Numbers aren't just for statisticians. People want to visualise and understand data for work, for study, for general interest, or to settle a debate. Many debates over religion rest on questions of how large? how many? how typical?'

The hard slog that refreshes the soul: Christopher Howse writes on pilgrimage (particularly in Spain) for the Telegraph (London). 'Life’s a pilgrimage, and the most important thing is the direction of travel.'

Ditch the Bossy-boot bishops: Hywell Williams, writing for The Guardian, argues that the best way to heal Anglicanism is to elminiate the office of bishop.
