Between the Anglican row, the last few days of the presidential campaign, cloning in Britain, spitting in Israel, and a million other stories, the papers are putting out religion stories faster than we can compile them. We've almost caught up, but figured we'd better shovel out what we've found so far. The stories below represent the religion news items from Saturday to Wednesday. Today's items will appear later this afternoon in a separate file. Meanwhile, enjoy.
Anglicans prefer split to false, forced unity | In fact if not in name, the Anglican Communion is fast becoming little more than the Anglican diaspora (Chris McGillion, The Sydney Morning Herald)

Launched in 1999, Christianity Today’s Weblog was not just one of the first religion-oriented weblogs, but one of the first published by a media organization. (Hence its rather bland title.) Mostly compiled by then-online editor Ted Olsen, Weblog rounded up religion news and opinion pieces from publications around the world. As Christianity Today’s website grew, it launched other blogs. Olsen took on management responsibilities, and the Weblog feature as such was mothballed. But CT’s efforts to round up important news and opinion from around the web continues, especially on our Gleanings feature.
Ted Olsen is Christianity Today's executive editor. He wrote the magazine's Weblog—a collection of news and opinion articles from mainstream news sources around the world—from 1999 to 2006. In 2004, the magazine launched Weblog in Print, which looks for unexpected connections and trends in articles appearing in the mainstream press. The column was later renamed "Tidings" and ran until 2007.
Data suggests that, when their attendance drops, these nominal Christians become hyper-individualistic, devoted to law and order, cynical about systems, and distrustful of others.
