Indigenous Anglicans from four provinces of the Anglican Communion have issued a joint statement of support for the Episcopal Church in Navajoland (TEC), after the second postponement of the election of its first Bishop Diocesan.
The statement is signed by:
- The Most Reverend Dr Don Tamihere, Archbishop and Primate of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia
- The Most Reverend Marinez Bassotto, Archbishop and Primate of the Episcopal Anglican Church of Brazil and Bishop of Amazonia
- The Most Reverend Chris Harper, National Indigenous Anglican Archbishop and Presiding Elder of Sacred Circle in the Anglican Church of The Anglican Church of Canada
- The Right Reverend Daniel Gutiérrez, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania.
The signatories write that they have followed Navajoland's journey towards self-determination with 'prayer, aroha, and thanksgiving', and that they walk with their Diné family 'not as distant observers, but as relatives', bound 'by faith, by kinship and by a shared history of colonisation'.
