Alaska Proclamation (July 2, 1992) signed by Governor Walter J. Hickel declaring November 22-November 28, 1992, as "Christian Heritage Week":
<Alaska has been richly blessed in natural beauty, reflecting God's miracle of creation. The importance of Christian Heritage to the traditions and values of our state is immeasurable.
Religious holidays, festivals, and celebrations have brought welcome respite from weary labor, as well as renewed respect and meaning for nature's seasons of change.
The community church serves a vital function in binding folks together and providing crucial education and charitable services. Teaching future generations of our state the all important role of Christian Heritage is of concern to citizens of all faiths.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Walter J. Hickel, Governor of the State of Alaska, do hereby proclaim November 22 through 28, 1992, as:
"CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WEEK"
in Alaska, and urge all Alaskans to reflect upon this foundation of our nation.
DATED: July 2, 1992
Done by
Walter J. Hickel, Governor
who has also authorized the Seal of the State of Alaska to be affixed to this proclamation.> 1992AK001
