-Major challenges in his episcopacy have included: leadership within the Cathedral Reinstatement Project (the project to reinstate the earthquake damaged Christ Church Cathedral in the Square in Christchurch city), working through effects of a series of congregational disaffiliations from the Diocese of Christchurch consequent on the 2018 General Synod/Te Hinota Whanui to permit blessing of same sex civil marriages, leading the Diocese of Christchurch through the lockdowns and other constraints on congregational life due to Covid-19 (through 2020 to 2022), and developing a Diocesan Mission Action Plan for the regeneration of the Diocese through the 2020s.
-In 2022, Bishop Carrell was a participant in the Lambeth Conference, held in Canterbury, Kent, England through late July and early August.
