Event Summary

Sarah Mullally is being enthroned as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury and spiritual leader of the 85-million-strong Anglican Communion in a ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral. This historic event marks a significant moment for the Church of England, which has faced internal divisions over issues like women's ordination and LGBTQ+ inclusion. Conservative Anglican churches, particularly Global Anglican Future Conference, have criticized Sarah Mullally's appointment and established a new council in challenge to her leadership. The ceremony itself blends tradition with global symbolism, featuring prayers in multiple languages and reflecting the Anglican Communion's worldwide reach. Sarah Mullally inherits the task of uniting a fractured global church, while the Church of England also grapples with declining attendance and efforts to rebuild trust after past safeguarding failures.
