ALL THE NEW URLS we receive each week are here. We list two (sometimes three) 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.

If you can't find something that was once here, try the AO search engine. It searches our entire site, and it can also search all of the sites that we link to.

About the episcopal election in Florida. South African archbishop launches anti-racism forum. An English woman looks for a church and fails to find it. An Irish man looks for his childhood faith and finds it. Islamic law in Nigeria tightens the noose. A religion professor questions which Bethlehem we might be referring to. Bishop of Iowa takes a national post. (If he'd taken a National Post we know he would have paid for it). C of E urged to make its schools more Christian; Praise Watunga! Chinese show what they mean by 'disestablishment'. Almost no English children find Jesus in Christmas. Montana bishop to be sentenced. Another theatrical production enrages traditionalists. Brass rubbing nearly rubbed out. Another utterly incomprehensible event in the theatre of British politics. All this, and more, in the News Centre.
