Letters to AO

EVERY WEEK WE PUBLISH a selection of letters we receive in response to something you've read at Anglicans Online. Stop by and have a look at what other AO readers are thinking.

Alas, we cannot publish every letter we receive. And we won't publish letters that are anonymous, hateful, illiterate, or otherwise in our judgment do not benefit the readers of Anglicans Online. We usually do not publish letters written in response to other letters. We edit letters to conform with standard AO house style for punctuation, but we do not change, for example, American spelling to conform to Canadian orthography. On occasion we'll gently edit letters that are too verbose in their original form. Email addresses are included when the authors give permission to do so.

If you'd like to respond to a letter whose author does not list an email, you can send your response to Anglicans Online and we'll forward it to the writer.

Letters from the week of 29 December 2014 to 4 January 2015

Like all letters to the editor everywhere, these letters express the opinions of the writers and not Anglicans Online. We publish letters that we think will be of interest to our readers, whether we agree with them or not. If you'd like to write a letter of your own, click here.

There are often comments about our front-page letters on the Anglicans Online Facebook page. You might like to have a look.

(A sincere thanks to the many of you who sent us personal notes and congratulations but did not wish to have those letters published.)

Consistency, constancy, and peace

One characteristic of AO I have treasured is that you stick to a rigid schedule of updating publicly only once a week, but every week without fail. In the shifting Internet world, this is a welcome regularity and a reminder that not everything that is "news" needs to be reported right away. A little time for reflection seems to work well for AO and sets a good example for us all.

Just a treasure trove of information

Happy 20th Birthday to you! I've come to appreciate Anglicans Online over the years to keep me updated with what's going on in the Anglican world, but most of all, as a place where I could send people who were interested in in learning more about the Anglican Communion.

Your explanations of churches In Communion and Not In Communion were really helpful a few years ago, as are your beyond-compare collection of prayer books and related resources. It's been a great one-stop-shop for those who want more info about Anglicanism!

Thanks for being there from the beginning!
