pp. 174, “In order to complete a single pastoral visit to his Anglican parishioners in the Central Arctic, the Reverend John Sperry covered 3,000 miles each winter by dogteam during the 1950s and 1960s. After half a century of life in Canada’s northland, Sperry shares the wisdom, language and culture of a people long isolated from the southern world. Illustrated by rare photographs, these inspirational memoirs illuminate the lifestyle of the Inuit and the story of mission life in Coppermine (now Kugluktuk).
Subsequently, Sperry served as Anglican Bishop of the Arctic. He is now retired but still active in the Church and an officer in the United Bible Societies.”
