Craig is nestled in the maze of islands on Alaska's Panhandle - a truly stunning area. Craig is most notably a fishing and sawmill village, but definitely a place worth visiting.
Crooked Creek was a summer fish camp for Yup'ik and Ingalik peoples until gold was discovered and this was one of many villages that sprung up to support the mines.

Can the Orthodox Church and Evangelicals work together? With Father Marc Dunaway
Father Marc Dunaway serves at St. John's Orthodox Church in Eagle River, AK and is a part of the Lausanne Orthodox Initiative which is an effort to bring Evangelicals and Orthodox believers together to better understand their similarities and differences. We discuss some of those differences, why Orthodoxy is growing in Alaska, how Evangelicals and Orthodox believers can learn from one another, what should we make of the iconography in the Orthodox Church, and according to Orthodoxy ecclesiology, can people be saved outside the Orthodox Church? My last question for Marc was "What is the gospel?" Listen to hear how he answers that question and much more is covered in this intriguing episode! I am grateful for Father Marc's insight into these so we can better understand one another!

The Story of Council and Covenant Life
Council went from wilderness to a booming town of 15,000 people then down to a tiny population in just a few years thanks to the flurry of gold prospectors at the end of the 19th century. Council is considered a "ghost town" today, but is it?
Covenant Life seems to be connected to a religious movement called "The Move" or often referred to as "The Farm" which is a religious group with several communities throughout Alaska. This village is centered around a church and the religious values of "The Move."
