This page ...

... is not about us at St. Mary's: if you are looking for our news click here.

Rather, this page provides links to other websites that provide news of the Church or of events of particular interest to Christians. (Of course much in the general news is of interest too, and should affect our prayers and actions but websites for that - the BBC website and those of newspapers - are well known so not included here)

General News

Christian Today has news from all denominations, all over the world.

Anglican News

To the left are the links to the latest news from the Church of England, and beneath this column news from the  Anglican Communion (labelled ACNS - the Anglican Communion News Service).

ABC

The above Anglican News service includes news connected with the Archbishop of Canterbury, but you can also see video material featuring Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, on   You Tube.

Salisbury Diocese

A little news of the Diocese can be found on the  Diocesan website. (You can open this website from the "Salisbury Diocese" part of the logo on the top left of every page on this site)

Anglicans online

has a  "News Centre" - a page of news with links to various websites. It tends to have a North American bias.

Also has a topical editorial on its  home  page, new every Monday, and a  "Noted This Week" page - some news items amongst links to book reviews, new websites etc.

Ekklesia

The latest headlines from Ekklesia are on our home page: older news can be accessed from  their website. (Ekklesia is an independent Christian think-tank which examines the role of religion in public life)

Papers

Other news can be found on the websites of the Christian papers including:

General Synod

As well as in the papers, you can read about General Synod proceedings on a blog by one of its members.

Discussion of news ...

... of particular interest to Christians can be found on many blogs including the following:
