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
General Synod papers online: Agenda and Papers November 2010 are available through the CofE's website; a much more useful digest of these items is available from Thinking Anglicans.

Jesus Was an Episcopalian (And you can be one too!): 'The point of this audaciously anachronistic title is not to claim Jesus as our own (how very un-Episcopalian that would be!), but to inspire us to see how Jesus is found in the many and varied expressions of faith that two thousand years of Christendom has birthed.'

Theo Hobson, complaining that the English way of religion is dominated by nostalgia, class, and embatrrassed evasion, elaborates in Comment is Free that 'Britain's illiberal attitude to the church has driven me away'.

Worth Noting
In the beginning were the blogs: Toby Cohen writes for the Church of England Newspaper. 'Already the Communion suffers discomfort as more sensational comments are flung between its distant quarters. Perhaps some of the subsequent tensions could be eased by engaging more meaningfully in online social forums. This is the time for on-line indaba.'

Law, Liturgy, Wisdom: Benjamin Guyer writes in the Living Church (Milwaukee). 'Richard Hooker is oftentimes described as the founding figure of the Anglican tradition. This is, however well intentioned, a half-truth.'

2008/2009 Statistics (for people who like that sort of thing): 'Parochial church attendance, membership and finance statistics together with statistics of licensed ministers for the Church of England.' The page headers for this report say '2007/2008', so we're not certain what numbers go with which years, but in any event, here are some CofE numbers for some CofE years.
