Dame Sarah Mullally

Dame Sarah Mullally has been appointed as the new Archbishop of Canterbury, marking a historic milestone as the first woman to hold the position in nearly 500 years of Church history. A former NHS chief nurse, Sarah became a priest in 2006 and was the first female Bishop of London in 2018. Her leadership is characterized by a commitment to modernizing the Church and addressing issues such as abuse and inclusivity within the Anglican Communion.
