Friends of Navajoland Zoom

This gathering will follow the spirit of our November meeting, creating space to hear directly from Navajoland voices and remain grounded in the life of the Diocese.

At this meeting, we will:

• Welcome and Introductions
• Hear check-ins and updates from the Bishop and ECN clergy/ Laity
• Continue conversation around partnerships and mission relationships
• Provide an update on the developing Friends Cultural Learning Zooms, which will be offered in the months between our regular gatherings

As we move forward, we hold both immediate needs and long-term relationships together. This includes strengthening how we walk alongside Navajoland in ways that are respectful, sustainable, and rooted in trust.

If it is helpful, you might take a few moments before we gather to sit with one or two of these questions:
For all participants:

• What does it mean to walk together in a good way in this season?
• What have you been noticing, learning, or wondering about in your connection to Navajoland?

For those joining from outside Navajoland:

• What does it look like to listen well before acting?
• How might partnership begin with relationship rather than activity?

For those within Navajoland (clergy and laity):

• What is happening in your community right now that others may not see?
• Where are you seeing strength, resilience, or hope?

There is no expectation to have fully formed responses. These are simply invitations to ponder and help ground our time together.

Whether you have been part of Friends for many years or are joining more recently, your presence matters. These gatherings are a space to listen, learn, and stay connected to the life and ministry of the Episcopal Church in Navajoland.
