[edit] New Template
Ok, just FYI this is the new template for Anglicanism. I'd like to have something nice to link all the major articles together. Is everyone OK with me using the Anglican Communion symbol for the template image? --circuitloss 23:48, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Long overdue! KHM03 22:30, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know...I wandered into Methodism and got inspired by that one. --circuitloss 23:34, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Herbert
Is George Herbert necessary on the template? KHM03 00:27, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm...I don't really know. I was trying to think of "people" to include and he came to mind. What criteria do you think should be used for template links? Also, I like your edits. It's looking better than my first version. --circuitloss 01:02, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, Hooker, Henry & Cranmer are hugely important figures that helped to make Anglicanism what it is. I think these are the types of folks to list. Maybe Elizabeth I? KHM03 12:19, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Canterbury and York
I wonder how appropriate it is to link to the Archbishop of York. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the "symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion", but the Archbishop of York doesn't really have any relevance outside England, does he?
Also, maybe there could be an "Issues" heading, with entries for things like Anglican views of homosexuality? --Angr (tยทc) 06:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- Issues are transitory; here today, gone tomorrow. I'm not sure that's a grand idea. Canterbury & York are the two archbishoprics, York being the #2 guy in the communion behind Canterbury (I think...I'm not Anglican). We can certianly take York off the template if necessary. KHM03 12:15, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
My 2 cents. About the first issue, I agree with Angr, the Archbishop of York is significant only to the CoE. If York is on the list the ECUSA Presiding Bishop should be also...etc. Also, I think that issues could be interesting if it was related to Anglican distinctivness. The ordination of women could be worked in here somehow...let me think about it. --circuitloss 15:39, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright
I'm currently investigating whether the compass rose is public domain or copyright/fair use. I'll keep you all updated. --circuitloss 02:52, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- It was nice. KHM03 02:53, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- But Canterbury Cathedral's nice, too. You might also use the cover of the BCP. Just a thought. KHM03 02:53, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- Canterbury is nice, but very CoE. This is Anglicanism, so I think we would all prefer something more universal. BCP is a good idea... --circuitloss 02:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
I just received an email from Jim Rosenthal, director of communications for the Anglican Communion. He told me that thej compass rose symbol is licensed "to all who write about, illustrate, or promote churches and institutions of the official Anglican Communion. Misuse would be challenged." It is stil unclear to me whether this allows use in a "neutral point of view" encyclopedic setting, especially one of the bredth of Wikipedia. It might be best to leave things as they are for the moment. --circuitloss 19:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- It's not worth a fight. Canterbury or the BCP will do. Here's an image to consider....

- Whatever you decide. KHM03 23:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

- Or this...

I tested the template with both images, and while I would prefer to use a BCP image, the first is not centered, and the 2nd is too dark. In my opinion anyway. If someone wants to change the template and get a reaction, please do, but I'm leaving it as is for the moment. Thanks KHM03 --circuitloss 02:29, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
