Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold said that, among the qualities he came to appreciate in Harris was her "graced irreverence, especially in complex situations, saying something trenchant that moves us to new plains of insight." Through her struggles, he said that Harris had developed "a deep sense of truth that is unwavering.
