Hallo
again to all on the Advent Sunday, 1999. This
week finds a wealth of interesting, well-designed, and informative parish
web sites. Oh, and one cathedral that has, at last, an official web
site: the Cathedral and
Metropolitical Church of Christ Canterbury.
 In
no particular order, we bring to your attention some of the parish sites
we enjoyed visiting: Kendal
Parish Church, in England's lovely Lake District, comes as near
to a model parish web site as we've seen. (In fact, the webmaster has
posted the objectives of the site, and what a jolly good idea this is.)
Don't miss the page that highlights a few entries
from an early register, e.g.: '1609, Aprill 15.- Willm. flattershy,
servt. to Allan Gilpin of Hiegt., slaine with lightning'. Staying
in England, 'St Ed's',
Roundhay has much of interest--the section with articles from the
parish magazine included,  amongst
other things, a child's-eye view of tea at No 10 Downing Street.
The
Parish of Saint George in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is about to celebrate
its 200th anniversary--and part of that parish includes the historic
'Round Church', seen here on the left in the small watercolour drawing.
The
oddly  named
Hickory Neck Episcopal
Church in Virginia is a very
old church for the States, with origins that date to the mid-seventeenth
century. In
South Australia, St Agnes Church,
Grange, in the Diocese
of Adelaide caught our eye with its spare and sensible  web
site design. The site includes a helpful 'planning your wedding' page,
something that surely other parishes would find useful to add. May as
well clue family in now about your video and camera policies...
The
Church Army in Canada has a
web site, and if you don't know what the CA is, you might like to pay
a visit. (Many may not realise 
that Terry Waite was a lay minister in the Church Army in England.)
There's a good overview of the 20 years of history of CA in Canada,
and links to other CA web sites round the world.
A
blessed Advent to all. No matter how trying things sometimes seem now
and then for our beloved Anglican Communion, remember:
Ring
the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.*
See
you next week.
