Hallo
again to all. The Internet brings with it the potential to make the concept of 'out of print', well, outdated. A case in point is the new Internet edition of 'The Confessions of Saint Augustine'. In 1992, the Clarendon Press Oxford published James J. O'Donnell's three volumes of introduction, text, and commentary; the set sold for about USD 300, eventually going out of print. The entire work is now available on the Net, including the complete Latin text of the Confessions, a detailed scholarly line-by-line commentary on the text, and a lengthy interpretative introduction. Tolle et lege! ('Tolle' being interpreted loosely...) The
same happy phenomenon of oudating out of print is occurring at the site
called Project Canterbury,
where some of the best-known but long-unavailable Anglo-Catholic and
Oxford Movement-related texts are now being scanned and uploaded. We
note this week the appearance of '"The
High Church Schism: Four Lectures on the Nonjurors," by JWC
Wand, Bishop of London. Bishop Wand's short introduction to the Nonjurors

If you've ever considered tackling Koine Greek, start here. This week we welcome a plethora of parishes from Japan, an unofficial page for the Diocese of Kobe, and a most interesting site for Holy Trinity Cathedral in Montevideo, Uruguay. You can find all these in our New This Week section. Our usual weekly round-up of world news about, by, and of interest to Anglicans is in its usual spot the News Centre. Read about remarriage in England, a million-dollar treasure find in a church in Massachusetts, an ancient church ready to fall into the sea, and much much more. And our Anglicans Online search engine can now search the web sites of five national churches as well as the AO site itself. If you haven't tried AO Search, you really should. We continue to be grateful for your readership; it's what keeps us able to do this every week through thick and thin. Do tell your friends about Anglicans Online. See you next week.

a remarkable group, and if you don't know much about them, this is a
good way to begin the acquaintance.
