A Good and Faithful Servant The Year of Saint Innocent
1997 marked the bicentennial of the birth of Ioann Veniaminov, a distinguished Russian Orthdox missionary, teacher, administrator, linguist, ethnographer, and architect. During his extensive travels in Russia and Alaska, Veniaminov served as the first priest of Unalaska, the first Orthodox bishop in Alaska, and head of the Orthodox Church of Russia. In 1977, he was canonized as Saint Innocent, Apostle to North America and Siberia. This book explores his past, recounts his accomplishments, and retells the story of a remarkable man.
