The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday announced the appointment of 63-year-old Rt. Rev. Dame Sarah Mullally, DBE, as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of the Church of England.
Mullally, who was appointed the first female Bishop of London in 2018 and a former chief nursing officer of England, now becomes the first woman to lead the Church of England at a time of great difficulty for the church.
Her historic appointment has been greeted with both jubilation and concern within the Anglican Church worldwide.
Mullally’s appointment comes almost a year after the controversial resignation of the former Archbishop Justin Welby in November 2024.
