  Early History of the Diocese 

Here is a most unusual saga: the courageous and colorful history of our Episcopal Diocese in a vast land of extreme climate and great isolation. It includes the stories of indomitable leaders, men and women who have labored for God with a vision strong enough to endure the many obstacles in a place remote from the mainstream of the Episcopal Church. It includes the stories of lay people who have maintained strong Christian lives by relying on their own faith and personal resources, often with little support from clergy or community for long periods of time.


Centennial Commemorative Publication

The Episcopal Diocese of Alaska celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 1995. To celebrate the occasion the Diocese enlisted historiographer, Carol Phillips, to write a book of our history.

The book consists of many inspirational, personal stories, from the people who worked to build the Episcopal Church in Alaska in its founding years.
