You grew up in Seattle, and maybe you could start with kind of a little bit about your early years and really if you know kind of when the moment when you really decided that you wanted to enter religious life, which I think is always interesting.

Absolutely.

No, happy to.

So, you know, I'm born and raised in Seattle, which is somewhat anomalous.

I grew up in Seattle at a time when it was a little bit of a backwater.

It was Boeing and Weyerhaeuser were the primary employers.

This was far before Microsoft or Amazon or anyone else came in.

So you have some sort of regular contact with religious leaders of other faiths, not necessarily in connection with a particular event, but just as a dialogue and as relationship building.
