• They Turn to Silence, Then Hear God's Word

We don't have much un-programmed time in our lives," says Pamela Leach, a member of the local meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers. "It has come to the point where many are uncomfortable with it. At a Friends Meeting, people sit quietly, seeking to hear what God is saying. "In corporate silent worship, we mind the oneness and seek a still place where the Holy Spirit may move in our midst," Leach says, adding that "the silence is not an absence or emptiness, but a discerning of the presence of God. If the Spirit is felt, we may be moved by awe and wonder to more silence, or to words." "We seek unity in God's will, rather than their own agenda," says Leach, adding that "unity doesn't always mean unanimity. Sometimes we disagree, but go along with what has...

• 7 Things to Do

It's I Love to Read month and I'm pretty sure the first step to celebrating it is to get yourself a book. So get one (or more) at the Winnipeg Humane Society Book and Movie Sale. The two-day event runs today and Monday from 12 p.m.-5p.m. Dig through the piles of gently used books and movies to find a book to curl up with. While you're there be sure to say hello to the animals. Hey -- you may even fall in love with one of the furry sweethearts and leave with more than just a paperback. The sale takes place at the Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way. Put down that chocolate and bottle of champagne. Gather up your friends and roll into the Park Theatre and Movie Cafe tonight for Hearts for Haiti. Rollin Penner and the Traveling Medicine Show will be hitting the stage with a few of their friends t...

• Walk with Gay and Lesbian, Really Ordinary Folk

If you've never been, I can assure you that you'll fit in, regardless of your age, gender, sexual orientation or fashion sense. Trust me: From my experience, a Pride march is a reflection of diversity in the true sense of the word. Certainly, examples of stereotypical GLBT archetypes abound, which makes for great people watching. But, along with the drag queens, leathermen, butches and femmes are hundreds of other folks who appear, for lack of a better description, normal. Boring, almost. People in nondescript jeans and T-shirts chat amicably with each other. Little dogs wearing bandanas frolic about happily. Moms and dads pull their kids along behind them in wagons. Go figure: The GLBT population is as varied as the rest of society. Ask your gay friends if they're comfortable holding h...

• Canadian Authors Take Aim at Deniers; Former Vp Delivers Gorefest of Choices Crisis? What Crisis?

[James Hoggan] and [Richard Littlemore] are the team behind DeSmogBlog.com, a website dedicated to documenting this climate change denial "industry" and uncovering the money behind it -- which it turns out is considerable and almost entirely originating from oil, gas and coal companies. Hoggan's background in public relations enables him to effectively demolish this cynical campaign, which has relied heavily on the creation of "astroturf" (or phony grassroots) organizations with disarmingly benign-sounding names like "The Friends of Science" and the "Greening Earth Society. In addition to a highly selective use of data, another common and deceptive tactic identified in the book is "argument by petition." This is where climate deniers produce the signatures of thousands of contrarian "s...

• In Brief

Program funds in Manitoba have gone to organization such as Literacy partners of Manitoba, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, International Centre, Alpha House, Osborne House and the Millennium Library. Not flamboyant compared to previous top advisers [Ryan Craig] and Hugh McFadyen -- the latter now Manitoba's Opposition Leader -- [Sherwood Armbruster] is regarded as having a quiet, relatively diplomatic manner. Partners In The Park, Friends of the Assiniboine Park Conservatory and the Manitoba Zoological Society all appeared before council's protection and community services committee on Monday to point out problems with a city-authored governance plan for Assiniboine Park, whose facilities are crumbling and underfunded.
