Archbishop Francis Hurley's 38th 19 March 2008

This Homily (14 minutes) was given by Bishop Emeritus Francis Hurley on the 38th anniversary for ordination as a bishop. He was first ordained as the auxiliary bishop to the empty See of Juneau, with the charge to investigate if the Diocese of Juneau should remain an independent diocese. He recommended that it should, and continues to recommend that the Diocese of Juneau remain a Diocese and not be absorbed into the Archdiocese of Anchorage. He thanks the people of the Diocese of Juneau for training him how to be a bishop. Lots of good history of the Diocese of Juneau here, especially the being absorbed by anchorage issue.
