In Trust Series: Practicing Collaboration, Pt. 9 – Indigenous Collaboration

September 7, 2026

The In Trust Center for Theological Schools recently released a ten-part recorded series that was facilitated by Kairos President Greg Henson.

Through this series, leaders from across theological education explore the topic of Practicing Collaboration, reflecting on their experiences and sharing insights gained through their work. Each interview explores a unique aspect of collaboration in practice, offering thoughtful reflections, practical insights, and ideas that encourage others to pursue meaningful collaboration in their own contexts.

The ninth recorded session featured Dr. Julie Lytle, Director of Distributive and Lifelong Learning Initiatives at Bexley Seabury Seminary, and Dr. Christopher Hoklotubbe, NAIITS Director of Graduate Studies.

As In Trust shared about this video in the series,  “In this conversation, Dr. Julie Lytle, director of distributive and lifelong learning initiatives at Bexley Seabury Seminary, and Dr. Christopher Hoklotubbe, NAIITS director of graduate studies, introduce the Indigenous Theological Circle, a Pathways for Tomorrow collaborative initiative led by Bexley Seabury Seminary in partnership with NAIITS. The Indigenous Theological Circle is an ecumenical network of denominational and ministry partners committed to supporting the flourishing of Indigenous communities. They discuss the vision guiding this work, the challenges it seeks to address for Indigenous congregations across North America, and what is being learned as theological education becomes more contextual, relational, and community-grounded.”
