We are honored to share with you our Diocesan Profile

Yáʼátʼééh!

This moment marks a sacred step forward in our journey together as we prepare to welcome our first bishop. We offer deep gratitude for the prayers, stories, and voices that have brought us to this point. Through conversation, memory, and shared hope, we envisioned a leadership rooted in service, healing, and kinship.

This profile is more than a document. It carries our collective story woven from our past, our mission, and our sacred relationships. It is written by us, for us, and with us. These are our words. This is who we are.

We invite you to help us share the profile throughout your communities, congregations, and Episcopal circles. Nominations and applications will be received through September 30.

As we move into this next season of discernment, we ask for your continued prayers:
— Pray for our Search Committee as we listen deeply and move forward with care.
— Pray for our diocese as we hold this time of transition with hope and trust.
— Pray for those who feel called by the Spirit through the words of our profile, that they may have the courage to respond.

With faith and unity,
The Episcopal Church in Navajoland
