Steven Tsosie Plummer

Christian Century,  May 3, 2005  

In a service combining Episcopal and Navajo traditions, Steven Tsosie Plummer, the first elected Episcopal bishop of Navajoland, was laid to rest in a family burial plot in Bluff, Utah, on April 6. Plummer, 60, died four days earlier after a lengthy battle with cancer. A congregation of about 300, including ten bishops, took part in the service, according to the Episcopal News Service.

Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold, one of several homilists, said he appreciated the Navajo bishop's "gentle wisdom" and the "way in which he could see the humor in situations when other people were terribly serious."
