The Episcopal Church in the USA: The EC website (formerly ECUSA) includes resources and links to other websites from a wide range of offices and organizations, including messages and announcements released by the Office of the Presiding Bishop and top news headlines from the Episcopal News Service. This site also has links to Parish websites from across the USA.

Episcopal News Service: ENS is the official news agency of The Episcopal Church and publishes news and feature stories and media advisories primarily for secular and church publications, such as diocesan newspapers. ENS publishes online as soon as the news is written.

Anglicans Online: A world wide web site devoted to the goings on of the Anglican Church in Canada and around the world. Editors who review the web site consistently give it high ratings for quality. The section on Anglican Resources is particularly interesting. Their listing of links is so complete, this list seems threadbare. In their own words: "This page may help shed some light on aspects of the 80-million member, worldwide Anglican Communion. We hope you'll find the material here interesting, entertaining--even challenging. After all, we hold that Jesus Christ came to take away your sins, not your mind."
