Sarah Mullally Selected as First Female Archbishop of Canterbury

Dame Sarah Mullally has been appointed as the inaugural woman leader of the Church of England, with official sources revealing the 106th archbishop of Canterbury shortly after a year since the departure of Justin Welby over the handling of a safeguarding scandal.

This marks the first time an top bishop of Canterbury has been chosen since the Church of England permitted female bishops in 2014.

The top cleric is considered the spiritual leader of the Anglican church globally and also possesses a seat in the House of Lords.

The archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell took on most of the responsibilities in the interim, and was one of the voting members of the committee tasked with appointing Welby’s successor.

The selection body had to endorse the candidate by a two-thirds majority vote. Once decided, as per protocol, the steps entail presenting a nominee to the prime minister – in this case Keir Starmer and then submitted to the sovereign.

She will not officially begin the role until a confirmation of election in January, with an induction rite occurring subsequently, after homage is rendered to the monarch.
