Friends

Fraternity

- Paul Cornell's website. Paul is the writer of the Doctor Who episodes Father's Day and Human Nature / The Family of Blood and a writer of novels and other things. He's been a friend for almost 15 years, so I have no idea why I haven't put him in that section...
- Mad Norwegian Press - the publisher of several books I am working on. Publisher Lars Pearson is also a friend.
- Thales Exoo's website, words + stuff creates - My friend Thales is an amazing web designer. This is her business website.
Screenwriting

- Writers Guild of Canada
- Writers Guild of America
Doctor Who
- Doctor Who Information Network - North America's biggest, oldest, and best Doctor Who fan club. Has a zine edited by some guy named Burk.

Blogs I Like
- Bubie's Little Baker - my dear friend Hindy's blog about food and life. It's incredible.
- Kompass Gallery - the photographic work of Paul Kompass, my childhood parish priest and family friend
- News from Me - the blog of writer Mark Evanier. Why go anywhere else?

Spirituality / Christianity
- WonderCafe and Emerging Spirit two sites of the United Church of Canada that I contribute to.
- Sojourners - a magazine (and a community) run out of Washington DC dedicated to exploring Christianity and social change. Perhaps the one of the most prophetic voices in the United States right now
- Ship of Fools - describing themselves as "the magazine of Christian unrest", it's totally irreverent, which is what Christianity should be in my books.
- Student Christian Movement (SCM) - A British student organization that I worked for that still does some great work.
- St. Gregory's of Nyssa - a progressive Episcopal Church in San Franscisco that has some great resources.
- Ontario Consultants for Religious Tolerance

Favourite Things
- Nina's Books 4 Israel Project - my friend Nina is doing the most incredible thing, collecting books and donations to send books to the poor schools in Israel, particularly to the Bedouin schools in the Negev. It's an amazing work of grassroots charitable work. Go and donate!
- One World - an excellent resource for international news, global education and human rights links
- Mundo Jazz - rumours that my friend Dan Freedman has something to do with this are purely conjecture.
- The Cockburn Project - a comprehensive site on my favourite musician, Bruce Cockburn
- Billy Bragg - another great musician. It's an official site, but it's maintained by Billy and his own people, which is kind of cool.
- The Chestnut Tree Cafe - A website devoted to my favourite writer, George Orwell.
