Anglicans Online
Anglicans Online (sometimes abbreviated as AO) was an unofficial online resource of the Anglican Communion and the first comprehensive directory of Anglican churches and organizations on the web.[1] It was founded in 1994 by Tod Maffin, a Canadian Anglican, and was later managed by US Episcopalians Cynthia McFarland and early internet pioneer Brian Reid.[2][1] The volunteer team also included editors from the United Kingdom.[3] Cynthia McFarland died in 2014.[4][5]
The site includes listings of Anglican organizations, official websites and parish websites from within the Anglican Communion as well as Continuing Anglican churches and organizations (those that maintain Anglican identity and traditions but are not in communion with the Archbishop of Canterbury). Until 2019, the site was updated each Sunday by a volunteer who also wrote a weekly editorial letter commenting on matters of church history, theology or politics. The site also provided a low-cost job vacancy board available to any church in the Anglican Communion.[6] In 2019, the editors ceased publishing weekly news and directory updates and job vacancies, citing the proliferation of official and unofficial Anglican church websites and online media resources that had emerged since AO's inception in 1994. On 27 October 2019, the date of the final weekly update, AO claimed to include "more than 30,000 links" in its directory.[7]
