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
A churchwarden’s lament: In The Spectator (UK), Ursula Buchan confesses 'if I wake in the night at a strange noise, I instantly imagine that someone is stealing the lead from the church roof' in her reflection on the strange lot of the churchwarden.

The defence of Christianity needs a little more nuance: Theo Hobson writes in the Spectator (UK), 'Put to the test, the Church of England failed to renew its establishment, it broke the unwritten modern rules of it. It allowed itself to get sucked into a culture war, to take sides'.

Love Free or Die: On Religion Dispatches (US), Peter Montgomery reviews the documentary about the Rt Revd Gene Robinson. The film won the Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival last month.

Worth Noting
The Living Church: The Living Church website has undergone a complete re-design. First up: Bishop Robinson Talks Policy.

The Queen's speech at Lambeth Palace: 'Here at Lambeth Palace we should remind ourselves of the significant position of the Church of England in our nation’s life. The concept of our established Church is occasionally misunderstood and, I believe, commonly under-appreciated.' Nelson Jones had these comments in The New Statesman.
