The Canadian scholar Northrop Frye, has called the Bible, "The Great Code". It is always interesting then, to see what parts of the Bible, some of the world's greatest composers, have chosen to set to music.

For example, Beethoven's beautiful hymn "Ode to Joy" is based on Biblical themes, and...

A lot of pundits have been giving PM Stephen Harper a really hard time for muzzling MP Mark Warawa's motion that parliament condemn sex selection abortion.

I think both Warawa and Harper are doing a good job, but if I have to take sides, I'll side with Harper.

"Harper's...

In his recent Huffington Post blog Josh Scheinert asks 'Why Do We Still Allow Christian Schools to Bully Gay Kids?'

I have met the teachers and staff at two Catholic schools and I can assure you that they are as compassionate as those at secular schools. Our...

Here is an essay I wrote encouraging Christians to support the Child Benefit Payment. If nothing else, please watch the video at the end of this essay, by a Canadian doctor. I have never met her in person, and I do not know if even she would support the Child...

With the advent of the new Pope, everyone is talking about how the Catholic church should change. When CBC's Peter Mansbridge, interviewed Cardinal Ouelette from Montreal, his questions were all about how the Catholic church should change.

Syria is violating the UN Rights of the Child. The children of Syria are being deprived of security, food, shelter and clothing, and their parents (60,000 dead), and education.

But what can the world do about it? When, where, and who to work with, is...

Paul McCartney was recently reported as saying he is going to stop smoking marijuana so he can be a better parent.

This should give us pause for reflection. After all, Paul McCartney is very capable, creative and even brilliant.

"Freedom from religion" is the phrase used by Doug Thomas in his recent Huffington Post blog

I call any girl that knows her Bible really well and is a Christian, (and there are lots of them) and/or a girl that God teaches how to paint and gives poetry, (and there is just one of her), a God girl.

Akiane Kramarik is really good at the latter,...

Les Mis is a beautiful movie. All at once, for all the world to see, the immense sadness of forced sex and pornography is portrayed on the big screen, as the beautiful Fantine lay dying, of a broken heart.

The seriousness of all this may soon escape us, as we...

Edmonton transit fares just went up to be the highest in Canada, and I expect Edmonton Transit is just trying to do a good job and at least break even on budget.

But, I remember, way back in the distant past, when I took transportation economics at university, there was...

I mentioned to a friend, the idea that the government should hire the disabled and he immediately gave me a long lecture on the importance of a small and efficient government that should not get involved in anything extra. I agreed with him all the time, but I don't think...
