Noted This Week

Page Editor: Richard Mammana

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.

Church History
Letters of Charlotte Mary Yonge. 'Charlotte Yonge [1823-1901] is one of the most influential and important of Victorian women writers; but study of her work has been handicapped by a tendency to patronise both her and her writing, by the vast number of her publications and by a shortage of information about her professional career. Scholars have had to depend mainly on the work of her first biographer, a loyal disciple, a situation which has long been felt to be unsatisfactory. We hope that this edition of her correspondence will provide for the first time a substantial foundation of facts for the study of her fiction, her historical and educational writing and her journalism, and help to illuminate her biography and also her significance in the cultural and religious history of the Victorian age.'

Worth Noting

You will find regular services of choral evensong, as well as major festivals and the Choir's carol services. At the beginning of each term the list is replaced with the first new service and will build up as the term progresses. Some recordings are selected for the Webcast Archive.

Faith in Conflict conference: Thinking Anglicans have a summary of the addresses at a Coventry Cathedral conference on 'Finding Better Ways to Handle Conflict in the Church'.

My Sermon Storyboard. Patrick Twomey writes for The Living Church (Milwaukee): 'Every preacher has to find a way into the heart of something deep, into the bosom of the Father. Being a preacher is more about having something to say than the employment of any particular oratorical skill. It also helps, I think, to push the ego aside, to give the encounter of preaching one’s full attention, and then let it go. Start over. Another Sunday is coming — and another opportunity to contemplate and convey the Living God.'
