From The Bishop of Olympia-I arrived in Fairbanks on an Alaska flight from Seattle filled with bishops and other support staff headed for our meeting in Alaska. We were all warmly welcomed in Fairbanks by Bishop Mark Lattime and by members of the diocese. The first night was mostly about getting settled in and resting. That was easier for me this time considering Alaska is basically in our neighborhood and this is most often not the case.
Thursday we met with several of the elders of the Athabascan people and heard presentations about culture in Alaska. The Presiding Bishop was gifted with a beaver skin miter and then the visiting elder reminded him, and us, that it is customary to dance after receiving a gift. Our PB did not miss a beat!
