Premier Stelmach's 'annus horribilis'

For Premier Ed Stelmach, 2010 has been -- to borrow a term used by the Queen in 1992 -- an "annus horribilis."

Christmas is a choice that leads to reconciliation

1914. The world was at war, awash in the violence and horror of men slaughtering each other in a desperate search for peace.

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.
