How to Solve the World’s Housing Crisis
There’s a growing housing crisis that’s impossible to ignore. Consider the stats: Nearly 3 billion people lack access to housing that is both safe and connected to basic services like energy, water and sanitation. Around 40% of the world’s population lives in houses located far away from jobs and opportunities. And 300 million people are currently experiencing homelessness. This translates into a need to build 96,000 affordable homes worldwide every day from now until 2030.
Multilevel Action for Community-Led Climate Resilience in Informal Settlements
Informal settlements are home to over a billion people and are among the communities most exposed to the impacts of climate change. Yet they are often left out of climate plans and funding decisions. In fact, over the past two decades, only a tiny sliver (3.5 percent) of global climate finance has reached the urban poor. This deepens their vulnerability and misses a major opportunity to support low-carbon, resilient development.

Can Canada break its ice hockey curse?
The Edmonton Oilers are heading south to Miami to fight to bring the Stanley Cup back to Canada for the first time since 1993. They will be hoping to avoid a repeat of last year when they made the same trip and lost. For over 30 years, the winner of the National Hockey League's top prize has gone to an American team.

Pastoral Ponderings: WrestleMania
By Robin King What would you say if someone asked you “Who is God for you, personally?” That was going to be my opening sentence. Still is, I suppose, but as I was typing it, I thought well, that’s not a fair question.
Pastoral Ponderings: Who’s There?
by Robin King The first to hear the news of Jesus’ birth, according to the gospel of Luke, were shepherds. I wonder. They were certainly the first to hear The Formal Announcement that the messiah had been born. An army of angels singing is about as formal as you can get. I wonder, though. We all have different visions of what the night might have been like, from the historically accurate to the romantic, but we don’t know for sure.
PASTORAL PONDERINGS: More ways to get to the same place
by Robin King “Why do you tell stories, Jesus?” In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus has told a few stories (he’ll tell many more) when one of the disciples asks why he does that. Conveniently, this happens right after he tells the parable of the sower and the seed, and before he explains it.
