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.

Worth Noting
Church Rescue. 'Running a church takes more than faith, and even the holiest of institutions can fall victim to harsh realities. Enter the "Church Hoppers" — three business-savvy ministers who travel the country helping faith-based organizations reestablish themselves in the marketplace so they can continue spreading the good word to their followers. They use the wisdom of Scripture and a little Southern ingenuity to pull off inspiring interventions.’ From National Geographic TV.

In the beginning was communication: The Bishop of London writes for ACNS. 'In the beginning was communication; God chose to communicate with us through his Son Jesus. He is God's plan for the spiritual evolution of the human race.'

Is tweeting in church bad manners? Paul Vallely writes for The Church Times (London). 'The real objection is not about poor theology, but about bad manners, as it is when the iPhone is used at the family dining table.'
