"When religion functions well in a democratic society, it becomes a voice of conscience. As religious Calgarians, we have something to teach. We are committed, like many others, to building a just and compassionate community.

"And that commitment matters."

Rabbi Mark Glickman was elected chair of the Calgary Interfaith Council the other week. During his remarks, he shared a commentary on why faith leaders and those who build community must be a part of the public discourse.

Rev. Tony Snow and Christine Laing spoke on our behalf at city council this week on the subject of the proposed Climate Strategy. Below is a recording of the presentation by the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good at city council, with Rev.
