Applications for bishop diocesan to close June 27
By the Rev. KC Robertson and Thomas Diaz, Bishop Search Committee Co-Chairs
Just three days to go! We’re down to the wire. The deadline for applications for our eighth bishop diocesan is at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday, June 27.
There’s a sense of charged anticipation — not from fear, but from how much this opportunity means to us. We’re invested, ready, and full of hope for what’s next.
What a long way we’ve come. There was the first organizing meeting back in November at St. Paul’s Commons, when a roomful of 19 strangers from all around the diocese started to morph from a committee into a community.
There were the listening sessions … our Holy Cow! survey … months of gathering information and writing a profile … developing an application form and questions for the candidates … publicizing the profile throughout the wider Church … reaching out to prospective candidates and seeking nominations … and now, waiting to see who feels a call to become our next bishop.
All of it wrapped in, grounded in, and bookended by prayer: for our diocese, for ourselves, and for the candidates, even before we know who they are.

By David Paulsen
[Episcopal News Service] The Episcopal Church welcomed its newest diocese on June 24 – the Missionary Diocese of Navajoland – though, as Navajo Episcopalians and church leaders noted, the elevation of Navajoland from an Episcopal mission formalizes a reality already felt for years in Navajo Nation communities.
“Navajoland was already living as a missionary diocese in spirit and practice,” GJ Gordy, an Executive Council member from Navajoland, said before the council voted to accept the missionary diocese’s new constitution. “This is not just a structural change. It is recognition of our readiness to lead ourselves.”
