Some other great stuff we've recently come across:

Recently we've come across some 'different' websites:

  • The Leviathan says it is 'putting the "fun" back into fundamentalism' and has lots of helpful guides. Did you know that by mid-July the chorus Shine Jesus Shine had been sung 16936 times?
  • The wibsite. In their own words: 'Laughing may just be the greatest spiritual resource available to us, occupying as it does the wetlands between despair and insanity. In our laughing we give voice to the entire tragedy and joy of human survival in the warzone of life. Perhaps it is laughter which is the image of God within us.'
  • Larknews is somewhat like a Christian version of The Onion. A recent article asks 'Was St Paul a midget?' See http://larknews.com/january_2003/

Seriously good sites we have recently browsed:

  • The official website of the Anglican Communion provides resources and links to information about the work, witness and worship of the Anglican/Episcopal family of churches in over 160 countries around the globe. The site includes documents, directories, information and resources, excerpts from the official magazine, Anglican World, as well as regular reports and features from the Anglican Communion News Service (ACNS).
  • The official website of The Anglican Church in Australia provides information, links and contacts for dioceses and parishes throughout the country.
