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
Church of England attendance figures. Thinking Anglicans have collected links and analysis of the newest Church of England attendance figures. 'The latest local church attendance figures from the Church of England for 2010 show that approaching 1.7 million people continue to attend Church of England services each month, and around 1.1 million attend one of the Church of England’s 16,000 churches as part of a typical week.'

The Osborne Report [PDF]: The Church Times has published the 1989 Osborne Report on homosexuality. 'in 1986, a standing committee of the House of Bishops asked the Board for Social Responsibility to set up a working party to advise the bishops. This resulted in the Osborne report of 1989 (chaired by the Revd June Osborne, a member of the Board), which drew on the direct testimony of gay and lesbian Christians.'

A Tale of Two Grandmothers. 'If God granted the prayers of one side and denied the others, did he consider the North right and moral and the South wrong and evil?' Boyd Wright of Mendham, New Jersey USA, writes for The Living Church.

Worth Noting
Design a Church Chair: Prompting titters about the rearrangement of deck chairs on Titanic, the Church of England has launched a contest for church chair design. 'The judging panel will assess how the designs respond to the outline specification and how the chairs and benches would interact within an historic ecclesiastical interior. Ultimately the winning designs will be chosen on the basis of affordability, functionality, comfort and aesthetic merit.'

Seven questions every church should ask: The Revd Dr Gary Nicolosi writes for Anglican Journal. 'A good question unleashes imagination, provokes curiosity and expands our vision. Some questions are so full of complexity that no adequate answer is possible, but that does not prevent us from considering multiple perspectives, surface more possibilities and ask the "what ifs" that result in different scenarios, responses and outcomes. In the end, inquiry beats certainty every time.'
