The Orthodox Church in Alaska
1997 Eagle River
Institute Presentation
Fr. Michael Oleksa
Fr. Michael has first hand knowledge
of the culture of native Alaska and can speak in many of their languages. He is a very
popular speaker and a superb storyteller. This series gives the history of Alaska over
the last 250 years and woven through each message is the Orthodox World View which shows the
power of the gospel of Christ in the lives of the natives and those who brought the message.
These tapes on Alaska are excellent. It's a story about people and how they acted against
incredible forces to bring the Church to Alaska. And the story about a possible new saint
is very touching.
This series of talks
is also more than a story about Alaska. Here is a model for evangelizing any culture, including
our own today. The Orthodox Model for evangelizing is very different than that of the Protestant
and Roman missionaries. This is a real treasure to be mined.
Fr. Michael is much in demand as a "counselor"
with the natives of Alaska and is called on often by the State of Alaska and the Federal government
to help resolve local disputes in schools. Fr. Michael's knowledge of the Orthodox faith
and the Native culture and history make this an amazing set of tapes.

These tapes on Alaska are incredible. It's a
story about people and how they acted against incredible forces to bring the Church to Alaska.
And the story about a possible new saint is very touching. You'll laugh and you'll cry
and you'll be very blessed by hearing these. Great healing has already come about from
these lectures.
