"The Church Times, founded in 1863, has become the world's
leading Anglican weekly newspaper. It has always been independent of the Church of England
hierarchy. It was a family concern until 1989, when ownership passed to Hymns Ancient
& Modern, a Christian charitable trust. The Church Times was started to campaign
for Anglo-Catholic principles, which it did with vigour and rudeness. But in the 1940s and
'50s the paper began the move to broaden its outlook and coverage. It now attempts to
provide balanced and fair reporting of events and opinions across the whole range of
Anglican affairs. The rudeness we now leave to our readers. For a longer history of the
paper, click here."

"The Polish Ecumenical Website Ekumenizm.pl together with
its sister-site The Ecumenical
Journal for Theology, is a newly formed initiative of young Polish Christians
from various denominations. Our editorial team consists of members of the
Roman-Catholic, Evangelical-Lutheran, Evangelical-Reformed, Pentecostal and
Polish Orthodox Churches. We provide a wealth of information from the ecumenical
movement, but also articles dealing with the issues and challanges facing
contemporary Christianity. Our aim, in the topics presented, is to promote the
reconciled, and thereby inspiring, diversity of denominations which are conscious of
their theological identity and open to other Christian traditions. In our
articles, we wish neither to gloss over the more difficult aspects of ecumenical
cooperation, nor to pass over in silence the shortcomings of individual Churches in
the service of the Gospel." [from the website]
