[Episcopal News Service] The Episcopal Church’s presiding officers welcomed other clergy and lay leaders and Episcopalians from across the church for an online prayer service on July 17 in what was to have been the month of the 80th General Convention until the pandemic forced a one-year postponement.
The convocation of prayer opened with the Rev. Shaneequa Brokenleg, the church’s staff officer for racial reconciliation, leading a Native American direction song. Throughout the service, participants acknowledged they and the wider church worship on land originally occupied by Indigenous peoples.
“I am grateful to The Episcopal Church for honoring and remembering all First Nations peoples of this land, known as Turtle Island,” said the Rev. Cornelia Eaton, an Executive Council member from Navajo Nation. “We are sacred people of this sacred island.”
