"You can't drive to Juneau, you can only get to Juneau by air or by water. I come to the diocese of Dallas and I learned that there are no islands and all roads, so just trying to manage that is a challenge. But when people speak to me about the vastness, the number of people, I assure them: "You can only interact with one person at a time, one congregation at a time, one project at a time, so you just stay focused and lean into it.""
