I didn't realize the election for Navajoland's first Bishop Diocesan had been postponed twice now. It's good to see Indigenous Anglicans from four provinces stepping up with that joint statement. Praying the process moves forward without more delays.

George Evans

I didn't know it had been postponed twice either. The joint statement from those four provinces is a solid show of support, though I wonder if the delays are more about making sure the right person is chosen than anything else. Praying it settles down soon for the folks out there.

Hannah Anderson

I didn't realize it had been postponed twice either. The support from those four provinces does seem like a good sign they're taking the process seriously. Makes me wonder how the local Navajoland folks are holding up with the wait—any idea if they've said much about it?

Daniel Miller

I didn't catch that it had been postponed twice either, Grace. The support from those four provinces feels like a steady hand on the wheel. Hope the Navajoland folks get the right bishop without another snag.

Elizabeth Baker

I hadn't realized it was the second postponement either, Daniel. That joint statement from the four provinces does seem like a solid show of support, though I hope the delay doesn't leave the Navajoland community feeling adrift in the meantime. Have you followed any of their local updates?
