On this page: Anglican News // Other Christian News.

This page includes links to both general Christian news sources as well as those covering the Anglican Communion specifically. If you are looking for secular news sources, see my News page.

Find both official and unofficial news sources. It's usually easier to find out what's "really" going on from the unofficial sources.

1) Unofficial Sources

These sources generally are put out by advocacy groups of some kind within the Church. Although this news can be presented in an editorial fashion, it is often very current and gets behind the "official" church line.

TitusOneNine - Diocese of South Carolina Canon Theologian Kendall Harmon's blog is the best place to go for Anglican news and commentary. This blog is well respected by conservatives and liberals alike. It is the gold standard for Anglican blog. Until May 2007, the blog was located here. There was a backup blog site for when the old site crashed due to heavy traffic, but I am not sure if it is still in use.
