Saint Innocent of Alaska Eastern Orthodox Mission History
St. Innocent of Alaska
A highly inventive and creative missionary pastor to the Aleuts and Tlinglits in the 1820's-50's, with his wife, mother-in-law, brother, and six children; his arrival was once foretold by an Aleut holy man and he was eagerly received. Traveling by kayak throughout the islands, he created written forms of the Aleut and Tlinglit languages, translated the Scriptures and Divine Services, built churches, started schools and composed textbooks, and taught carpentry, blacksmithing, and masonry, as well as academics. An ardent naturalist, he studied the land, customs and traditions of the people, and peacefully presented the Gospel with love and meekness. Greatly loved, he led a multitude of souls into the Holy Church. In later years he became head of the Russian Church. He gave astounding advice to form young pastors, emphasizing farming, medicine, and secular classical literature. He entered the heavenly kingdom March 31, 1879.
