The counselling program, launched by his diocese, was, said Nikolai, an example of the church reclaiming a traditional role, placing itself "in the centre of needs and social concerns" in Alaska.
Alaska government reports show the state has more alcohol-related deaths per head than any other US state, yet it does not have many alcohol treatment centers.
The goal of the programme is to eventually certify all Russian Orthodox clergy in Alaska as alcohol counsellors.

 Theophilus Eardwine -- Sobornost: Uniting Orthodoxy in America
Perhaps in Bishop Nikolai's Alaska he sees St. Herman's spiritual children all around, but that is only one diocese out of nine territorial and three overlapping ethnic OCA dioceses.
Bishop Nikolai's call to gather around the relics of St. Herman of Alaska is a good one, but his declaration that "we don't need another Ligonier" is, I believe, extremely unfortunate.
Reading Bishop Nikolai's own testimony of coming to terms with the need for Orthodox unity in America is genuinely inspiring, and everything that I have heard of His Grace is that he is a good shepherd to his flock.
