Concordia Lutheran Seminary

Concordia Lutheran Seminary (CLS) is a Lutheran seminary situated on the north bank of the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The seminary is located near the campus of Concordia University of Edmonton, and is part of the Lutheran Church – Canada (LCC). History In 1981, the convention of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS) authorized its Canadian districts that would ultimately become the Lutheran Church – Canada to determine what seminaries would be needed when the LCC became a separate denomination. The LCC decided that in addition to Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catharines, Ontario, which had been founded already in 1976 by the LCMS, a seminary was also needed in the western part of the country. The Board of Regents for the new seminary first met in September 1983, and a charter from the province of Alberta was granted on May 31, 1984. The first day of classes was held on September 10, 1984, with a faculty consisting of a professor of history theology and one of exegetical theology, and a student body consisting of six in Year 1 and four in Year 2. The seminary also took over the supervision of three Year 3 students who were serving vicarages (internships) in congregations. Classes were conducted in a house rented from Concordia College that had previously served as faculty housing and as a women's dorm. In 1987, CLS began making plans for a new permanent seminary building. It also applied to the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) for accreditation, and received associate membership in June 1990. The seminary moved into temporary quarters at Grace Lutheran Church in Edmonton for the 1990–91 school year while the new building was under construction. Dedication of the new building occurred on September 2, 1991. By that time, the faculty had grown to include five professors. Concordia Lutheran Seminary has been accredited by the ATS since May 29, 1998. It publishes the Lutheran Theological Review in conjunction with Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary. Presidents CLS has had six presidents since its founding, not counting interim presidents: W. Th. Janzow (1983–1987) Milton Rudnick (1987–1992) L. Dean Hempelmann (1993–1999) Arthur Bacon (2000–2005) Manfred Zeuch (2007–2011) James Gimbel (2014–2023) Jonathan Kraemer (2025–present) References External links Concordia Lutheran Seminary website

Connaught Armoury

The Connaught Armoury is a former armoury at 10310 85 Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This building was built in 1911–1912 in what was then the City of Strathcona at a cost of $35,000. The early twentieth century, two-storey, rectangular brick building is the oldest armoury in Alberta. Facilities In addition to a main-floor drill hall, it incorporated storerooms for arms, saddles and uniforms; offices and a caretaker's apartment. In the basement, the drill hall had a rifle range and bowling alley. History The Edmonton Historical Board Plaque states: "Edmonton is home to several armoury buildings, reflecting the importance of the armed forces in our city's history. The Connaught Armoury was built in what was then the City of Strathcona in 1911–12. It was named for Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, the third son of Queen Victoria and Canada's Governor-General from 1911 to 1916." The armoury was built to house the B Squadron of the 19th Alberta Dragoons. The 19th Alberta Dragoons was a cavalry and later armoured regiment which served during the First World War and in the Second World War. After the Second World War, it became the 19th Alberta Armoured Car Regiment. When the Dragoons were reduced to nil strength and placed on the Supplementary Order of Battle in February 1965, the City of Edmonton acquired the armoury from the federal government. Legacy The building was vacant for 14 years. The building has been leased to various restaurants over the years, but they did not succeed. The Strathcona Legion Branch 150 requested the use of the armoury after the building they were occupying became too expensive to continue using. However, City Council decided to use the building as a drop-in centre for the Youth Emergency Shelter Society. The building has been vacant since May 2024, and the City of Edmonton listed it for sale in July 2025.

Cardston-Alberta-Tempel

Der Cardston-Alberta-Tempel ist der sechste Tempel der Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage und der erste, der außerhalb der USA errichtet wurde. Er befindet sich in Cardston in der kanadischen Provinz Alberta. Der Ort war 1887 von mormonischen Siedlern aus Utah gegründet worden. Der Tempel ist einer der wenigen, die keinen Engel Moroni tragen und einer von dreien, die keine Turmspitze haben. Letzteres geht auf das Vorbild des Tempels Salomos zurück, wie auch beim Laie-Hawaii-Tempel und beim Mesa-Arizona-Tempel. Der Tempel wurde Anfang der 1990er Jahre renoviert. Unter dem Namen Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints National Historic Site of Canada wurde das Gebetshaus am 6. November 1992 in das Verzeichnis der National Historic Site of Canada aufgenommen. Meilensteine Einzelnachweise
Temple mormon de Cardston

Le temple mormon de Cardston est un temple de l'Église de Jésus-Christ des saints des derniers jours situé dans la ville de Cardston dans l'Alberta. Construit en 1923, c'est le 8e temple mormon à avoir été construit, et le 6e encore debout. Il est classé en tant que lieu historique national du Canada depuis 1992. Historique Le temple mormon de Cardston est le premier temple mormon construit à l'extérieur des États-Unis. Il est situé à Cardston, une petite communauté à 24 km de la frontière canado-américaine fondée par des mormons en 1887. La construction du temple a été annoncée le 27 juin 1913 et a débuté en novembre de la même année. La construction du temple a duré dix ans, la construction ayant été retardée par la Première Guerre mondiale. Pour financer sa construction, des visites ont été organisées entre 1920 et 1923. Il a été consacré en août 1923 par Heber J. Grant. Dans les années 1950, l'ancien tabernacle qui se trouvait sur le site est démoli, et le terrain est aménagé, pour lui donner un aspect plus dégagé. La fermeture d'une rue adjacente permet de construire une nouvelle cour. Le 6 novembre 1992, le temple est reconnu lieu historique national du Canada par la Commission des lieux et monuments historiques du Canada, principalement à cause de l'exécution et la qualité de ses matériaux et du fait qu'il s'agit du premier temple mormon du pays. Architecture Il s'agit de l'un des huit temples sans statue de l'ange Moroni et l'un des trois temples sans flèche, les deux autres étant le temple mormon de Laie et le temple mormon de Mesa. Le temple compte quatre salles d'ordonnance, cinq salles de scellement et une superficie de 8 200 m2. Le granit utilisé pour les murs extérieurs provient de Nelson en Colombie-Britannique. Les plans du temple sont dessinés par les architectes Hyrum Pope (en) et Harold W. Burton (en) : il s'agit du premier temple dont les plans ont été dessinés par un architecte. Ces plans ont servi d'inspiration au temple de Laie. L'architecture du temple, résolument moderne, mélange le style de la Prairie School, avec des emprunts évoquant les Mayas et les Aztèques. Il s'agit aussi du premier temple sans salle de réunion de la prêtrise, marquant la transition vers des temples multifonctionnels.

Devon Bridge (Alberta)

Devon Bridge is a bridge that carries the Devonian Way (Highway 60) over the North Saskatchewan River in Devon, Alberta, Canada. The current bridge was built in 1987 to replace an earlier bridge that was started in 1950 and completed in 1951. Before 1948, passengers could cross the river in this location in a bucket or cage that was pulled across the river by a system of cables and pulleys. During the winter, cars could cross the river on an ice bridge that was created by pumping water onto the surface of the river to create a safe driving surface. A ferry operated during ice-free periods from October 1948 until the completion of the first Devon Bridge in the spring of 1951.
