 Sarah Mullally Becomes Leader Of Anglican Church Worldwide As She Has Been Appointed Archbishop Of Canterbury.


63 year old Feminist Dame Sarah Mullally has been named as the first woman Archbishop of Canterbury in the Church of England.


Sarah Mullally was appointed as the new Archbishop of Canterbury on Friday, becoming the first woman to lead the Church of England in the 1,400-year history of the role.


Dame Sarah supports same s€x marriages and she described the decision to finally allow priests to bless same-sex couples in 2023 as "a moment of hope for the Church".


"In an age that craves certainty and tribalism, Anglicanism offers something quieter and stronger shaped by prayer and lit from within by the glory of Christ. That is what gives me hope."


Dame Sarah Mullally - who previously served as the Bishop of London - is the first woman to take over the centuries-old role of Archbishop of Canterbury after her predecessor Justin Welby resigned over his role in covering up cases of ch!|d @buse.


GAFCON, a grouping of conservative Anglican churches across Africa and Asia, said the Church of England's appointment of its first female Archbishop of Canterbury showed that the English arm of the church had "relinquished its authority to lead".


"Today's appointment makes it clearer than ever before that Canterbury has relinquished its authority to lead. The reset of our beloved Communion is now uniquely in the hands of GAFCON, and we are ready to take the lead," the alliance said in a statement on Friday
