A bounty of must-have electronic gadgets

Every holiday season brings a must-have tech gift of the year, but steady your shopping list: This year it's a bonanza. Other years have been marked by one category, like the year everyone got a digital camera. Too bad for you if you didn't like taking pictures, or if you already had a camera. You probably ended up with a scarf or socks. Not so this year.

Message from Calgary Bishop Fred Henry: Christmas presents and Christmas presence

We should not neglect works of imagination that attempt to infuse the popular mind with the Christmas spirit. When Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol, he intended to redeem the bleak work ethic of Victorian England with a renewal of Christian charity, just as in the wake of the Great Depression Frank Capra sought with It's a Wonderful Life to revive a sense of community and the common good. Transforming imaginations is integral to incarnation. We who are the church -- especially artists, writers, filmmakers, advertisers and broadcasters -- need to do today what Dickens and Capra did for their times.
