SPRING WORD OF ENCOURAGMENT ON “ENDURING FAITH”
TO: Pastor’s, Lay Pastor’s, Elder’s in Charge
FROM: Bishop William H. Nicholson
DATE: May 27, 2009
SUBJECT: SPRING WORD OF ENCOURAGMENT ON “ENDURING FAITH”
Ever since Synod 2008 elected me as a bishop of the Alaska Province and World-wide Unity, I have been concerned about the spiritual health of all of our Church leaders. One of the strong attributes of a healthy leader is “enduring faith” no matter what happens to us. It means remaining faithful to the end.
For the summer of 2009 as our Church leaders go forth to subsist off the land and waters, I pray for the safety of all of you and our church members. In Anchorage, Alaska, recently, we have been studying the Book of Hebrews. As you maintain your subsistence lifestyle, commercial fish or simply go on vacation, I encourage you to more faith. Hebrews 11 is a wonderful example of what faith is. This chapter lists those heroes of faith that have provided a solid foundation or example of faith for our Church. In the midst of change, I trust that you will have “enduring faith” that will propel you forward to continue steadfast in the ministry that our Province and Savior, Jesus Christ has called you to.
In 11 Kings 4: 24 we find a story of a Shunammite woman during the time of the prophet Elisha. In the scriptures, she is simply referred to as a great woman . She was great by God’s standards, for she was a devoted mother and a religious woman who was praised by her family and her community for her benevolence and her mission work. And by the actions of this Shunemite woman, we learn a most powerful lesson in moving forward.

Synod 2009 Informational Report
 |
| Synod Decisions impact our Youth |
Synod 2009 was attended by an Anchorage Moravian Church delegation made up of Pastor's William Nicholson and Grant Shimanek, Delegate Carie Paton, and guest Elder Grace Smith. Significantly for us, out of this meeting the AncMC humanitarian aid organiztion - "Ikayuun" is now supported for its creation and establishment.
Synod 2009 was held on February 2-6, 2009 at Bethel, Alaska. Close to 100 Church leaders from the 23 Moravian Churches and one fellowship attended this year’s business meeting. Many of the annual reports were heard from APB, Alaska Bible Seminary, Provincial Women’s Fellowship Group, Provincial Youth, Provincial Board of Evangelism, Board of World Mission, Yupik Old Testament Translation, General Bible Conference, Alaska Christian College, Christian Education, Hospital Chaplain and Provincial Hymnal Committee. On Monday, February 2, Pastor’s Nicholson and Shimanek attended a special Bishop and Presbyters meeting to deal with the Spiritual Feast concept. New APB members were elected and installed by Bishop William Nicholson on February 4, 2009 at a Bethel Moravian Church evening service. They are Pastor Lincoln Enoch, Lay Pastor Walter Larson and Lay Member Elsie Jimmy. Bishop William Nicholson was elected to serve as World Wide Moravian Unity meeting to be held in England in July 27 – August 8, 2009. The Old Testament Yupik translations are complete; however due to editing the publishing is expected to happen two or three years from now.
Church Delegate Carrie Paton submits her report to our general Church memberships (click on title above). So too, here, Bishop Nicholson submits copy of a written statement on the Spiritual Feast recommendation that was brought to the floor. These are his observations and some theological and practical reflections on a renewal movement happening in the Alaska Moravian Church (AMC). This bishop takes pains to assure the readers that his comments are not representative of any decision made by Synod 2009 nor the position of any other leader of the AMC.
Also Bishop Nicholson provides notes from a Bible Study he led in the Synod Healing Committee. This study deals with "brotherly love" ands a need for continued unity of our church body. He also lists some of the healing issues identified by the Synod 2009 Healing Committee that need to be addressed by future synods.
