“Our Lady of Alaska” This icon, a joint project of iconographer Sherry Lynch and her husband Ron Ridnour, depicts the Virgin Mother and Child.  Originally created for the 2009 Southeast Deanery Native Convocation the icon’s symbols and art are derived from traditional Tlinget design.  For a detailed description of the icon please click here.

Members of Alaska's 53 Episcopal congregations share the Gospel of Our Lord from tiny subsistence villages to major metropolitan centers. The Diocese of Alaska covers the entire state of Alaska. We have a land mass of 586,412 square miles with 47,300 miles of coastline, 3 million lakes and more than 3,000 rivers. Civilization has only encroached on about 160,000 acres of Alaska's 365 million acres. This is less than 1/20th of one percent of the State; the rest is still untouched wilderness, a frontier filled with awesome beauty and inexpressible faith.

Here, at The EDGE of a New Millennium, we are at the threshold of Evangelism and Discipleship through Gospel Engagement. We come together as a Diocese to focus on the Gospel and to see what God is calling us to do as individuals, as communities of faith, as a Diocese and as a "National" church.
