Key-note Address Synod 2008
Is the Alaska Moravian Church Relevant?
The need for unity in the church
Note: The keynote address was given by The Rev. William H. Nicholson
Is the Moravian Church in Alaska relevant to its society? Are we proactive in speaking to the problems of our people living in the villages. Do we as a Church have a grasp of the issues that are hurting our people? Do we have pastors speaking on the issues? What is the Churches stance on suicide? Sexual abuse of minors? Domestic abuse? Incest? Alcohol and Drugs? What do we feel officially when it comes to abortion, same sex marriages, or gay clergy? When we see what is happening around us, are we being responsive as a Christian Church?
