Online
News Sources
AFRICA NEWS ONLINE
A major venture to collect stories from 60 African publications and make them widely available on high-speed
servers. They have a Religion section. We at Anglicans Online pay close attention
to this web site, and scan it carefully every week. There are more Anglicans in Africa than anywhere else, and they actually go
to church.
ANGLICAN
COMMUNION NEWS SERVICE
Monthly news updates on the Anglican Communion, as officially published by the Anglican Communion office in England. Roughly 20-25
stories in each package, including episcopal appointments and the occasional feature from Anglican World magazine. ACNS offer an
email subscription; you can find the instructions on their web site.
ANGLICAN
MEDIA SYDNEY
The
Diocese of Sydney has a world-class communications department, and they
keep a current
list of stories to which they would like to draw your attention. Its
structure and style are not unlike Anglicans Online's own News Centre,
so of course we like it.
ANGLICAN
NEWS SERVICE (CANADA)
The
Anglican Church of Canada maintains the official Anglican News Service
on which official announcements and press releases from the ACC are placed.
Don't miss Canada's Anglican
Journal for deeper stories and features.
BBC NEWS ONLINE
The BBC was created as the British Broadcasting Corporation in 1922 to take advantage of the new medium of radio. They have adapted
splendidly to this newer medium of Internet, providing what is consistently one of the best online news sources in the world.
BBC RELIGION AND
ETHICS
The BBC launched this site in February 2001. It is their first foray into online religious reporting.
CHURCH NEWS IRELAND
A news site maintained by a small team of volunteers whose adviser is Very Rev Dr Houston McKelvey.
EPISCOPAL
NEWS SERVICE
The Episcopal News Service provides coverage of the Episcopal Church in
the United States. Like the ACNS service above, it offers free monthly
news bulletins and distributes breaking news in between the monthly updates.
ENS offer an email subscription; you can find the instructions on their
web site.
ECUMENICAL NEWS INTERNATIONAL
A news service with a special focus on providing religious news for
the international media. Using a worldwide network of correspondents,
ENI provides immediate and accurate reports, written to international
newspaper standards, as religious and church-related stories break around
the world. The ENI Summary service contains summaries of articles published
by the daily news service of Ecumenical News International. It is funded
by the World Council of Churches, the Lutheran World Federation, the
World Alliance of Reformed Churches, and the Conference of European
Churches. Stories are published daily in English and are free of charge
by email.
INDEPENDENT
CATHOLIC NEWS
The internet has a way of disintermediating distribution. This means
it connects the sender directly to the receiver without intermediate
organisations. The Independent Catholic News is run by a group of journalists
in London. Since its beginnings in May 2000, it has been a good source
of religious news stories by Roman Catholic journaliasts.
THE LIVING CHURCH
The Living Church Foundation operates a lively and well-written online Anglican news
site. We at Anglicans Online always read it carefully before publishing our own News Centre.
VirtueOnline
An online electronic magazine written and edited by David Virtue. He claims
a large international readership. You will not be ambivalent about
this material; you will either like it or hate it. In March 2003 he
published a diatribe against Anglicans Online; in fact, most of the
contents of this site is a diatribe against something. It is often
said that one is known by one's enemies; we suppose we're honoured
to be counted among Virtue's enemies.
WORLDWIDE FAITH NEWS
Worldwide Faith News is a searchable data base of official full text news releases and other documents, including policy statements, from the news offices of national and world faith groups. Currently (December 1998) it includes news releases from half a dozen different church groups.
