TI  - The whole universe is my cathedral: a contemporary Navajo spiritual synthesis.
PG  - 498-520
AB  - This article discusses the three major spiritual healing ways used by Navajo 
      Indians today: Traditional healing practices that have been used for generations 
      and still have a dynamic existence relevant to everyday Navajo life; Christian 
      healing traditions, ranging from Catholic Charismatic to Protestant Pentecostal; 
      and practices of the Native American Church (NAC). The complex relationship among 
      these healing traditions on the Navajo reservation is examined through a case 
      study of a Navajo woman whose personal spirituality includes all three. Faced 
      with serious medical problems, this devout Catholic turned to Navajo Traditional 
      and Native American Church spiritual diagnosis and treatment. This analysis is 
      the occasion for a reflection on the contemporary relevance of the kind of 
      spiritual synthesis characterized in this woman's experience.
