Writing to members of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, she said:

In times of dramatic change—no matter how we feel about it—we are vulnerable to our most unhelpful tendencies and often make our greatest mistakes. Paradoxically, it is also when we have the potential to take enormous leaps of personal maturity and societal courage.

It is that potential to which Jesus calls us.
