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.

Events
New Zealand: Hawke's Bay, October-November 2011: William Colenso Bicentenary
'Controversial, opinionated, insightful and passionate, William Colenso (1811-1899) had a keen appreciation of what it was to be an inhabitant of New Zealand in its earliest incarnation as a world of Māori and Pākehā. Only now, on the bicentenary of his birth can we see Colenso in the round: a talented polymath, at home crossing the Ruahines, providing Kew Gardens with knowledge of New Zealand plants, or writing and printing the only published eyewitness account of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.'

Worth Noting
Pastoral Letter on Israeli-Palestinian Peace: The Episcopal Church USA's Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori issued this letter on 3 October 2011.

Global demographic shift in Christianity reported: At the Global Christian Forum in Indonesia, scholars report that in the last century the centre of the Christian world has moved out of Europe. Ecumenical News International includes the information that the percentage of Christians living in Europe has dropped from 66% to 26% in one century.

UK chaplains in Afghanistan: 'With their camouflage Bibles and combat crosses, the forces' 278 chaplains are outsiders in the church and the military.' Riazat Butt writes for the Guardian (UK).

Wall Street on Wall Street: The rector of Trinity Church, Wall Street, one of the wealthiest church institutions in the world, writes without apparent irony on the Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City. 'Trinity Wall Street respects the rights of citizens to protest peacefully and supports the vigorous engagement of the concerns that form the core of the protests – economic disenfranchisement and failure of public trust.'

Worth Noting
CofE, statistically: The Church of England has released new statistics on attendance, giving, ordinations, and related trends. Our link to Thinking Anglicans includes links to the official press release and the statistical report itself.

US Episcopal Schools Celebration: The US National Association of Episcopal Schools declared today to be 'Episcopal School Celebration Sunday', and declared this week to be Episcopal Schools Celebration week. As far as we can tell, those celebrations were only announced inside existing Episcopal schools, which we don't think is likely to generate much outside interest or growth. The event appears not to have been reported at all in the secular media in the US.
