CNN- <\/strong>Sarah Mullally was on Friday appointed as the new Archbishop of Canterbury, becoming the spiritual leader of 85 million Anglicans worldwide and the first woman to hold the role in its 1,400-year history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mullally, 63, was made Bishop of London in 2018 \u2013 the Church of England\u2019s third most senior bishop after the archbishops of Canterbury and York. Before her ordination, Mullally worked as a nurse at hospitals in London, going on to serve as Chief Nursing Officer for England.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs I respond to the call of Christ to this new ministry, I do so in the same spirit of service to God and to others that has motivated me since I first came to faith as a teenager,\u201d Mullally said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt every stage of that journey, through my nursing career and Christian ministry, I have learned to listen deeply \u2013 to people and to God\u2019s gentle prompting \u2013 to seek to bring people together to find hope and healing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mullally will preside over an institution struggling to stay relevant in a more secular nation, attempting to bridge divides between its more conservative and liberal wings, and fighting to reclaim trust after a child abuse cover-up scandal.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Justin Welby, the former archbishop, resigned last year over his failure to report John Smyth, who was accused of physically and sexually abusing dozens of boys, including those he met at Christian camps, in the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A damning independent report found that by 2013 the Church of England \u201cknew, at the highest level,\u201d about Smyth\u2019s abuse, including Welby, who became archbishop that year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Welby\u2019s resignation, according to church historian Diarmaid MacCulloch, was \u201chistoric and without exact precedent in the 1,427-year history of Archbishops of Canterbury\u201d given no previous archbishop had stepped down to accusations of negligence over sexual abuse.\u201cOur history of safeguarding failures has left the legacy of deep harm and mistrust,\u201d Mullally said Friday, after her appointment. \u201cAs archbishop, my commitment will be to ensure that we continue to listen to survivors, care for the vulnerable and foster a culture of safety and wellbeing for all.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mullally\u2019s elevation to archbishop was only possible due to reforms under Welby, who allowed women to be consecrated as bishops a decade ago. But while the vastly experienced Mullally is viewed by church insiders as a safe pair of hands in testing times, the appointment of a woman has rankled the institution\u2019s more conservative faction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday\u2019s appointment makes it clearer than ever before that Canterbury has relinquished its authority to lead,\u201d said GAFCON, a grouping of Anglican churches across Africa and Asia, regions where congregations have grown in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the spread of Christianity during the British Empire\u2019s, the vast bulk of Anglicans \u2013 around three out of four \u2013 live not in Britain but in its onetime colonies.\u00a0Analysts<\/a>\u00a0say this has pulled the faith\u2019s center of gravity toward the more conservative global south, deepening divides with the West\u2019s more liberal outlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, Mullally led the church\u2019s process of exploring questions of marriage and sexuality, and was supportive of the move to allow ministers to offer blessings to gay couples in churches. She is renowned as a strong administrator who has worked to modernize the running of her London diocese while playing a leading role in the church\u2019s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Archbishop of Canterbury is the most public face of an institution that has struggled to stay relevant in a more secular nation. The archbishop is often called on to speak at significant national moments, presiding over major royal events, including the recent coronation of King Charles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candidates for the Archbishop of Canterbury are chosen by the Crown Nominations Commission, a body chaired by Jonathan Evans, the former head of MI5, Britain\u2019s domestic security service. The commission, comprising 17 voting members, decide on a preferred candidate, to whom Prime Minister Keir Starmer then gives his assent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is, however, King Charles, the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, who formally appoints the archbishop. The British monarch\u2019s role dates to when King Henry VIII broke away from the authority of the pope and declared himself head of the new church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, Evans had said he wanted to avoid a list of candidates \u201call of whom are white, Oxbridge, male and come from the southeast of England.\u201d He said there was \u201ca desire for somebody who can give genuine spiritual leadership and direction to the church,\u201d and who can \u201cspeak authoritatively and graciously with a Christian voice into the affairs of the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announcing Mullally\u2019s appointment, Evans thanked the members of the public who shared their views on the direction of the church in a public consultation earlier this year. \u201cI shall be praying for Bishop Sarah as she prepares to take up this new ministry in the coming months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mullally will be installed officially in a service at Canterbury Cathedral in March 2026, becoming the 106th archbishop since Saint Augustine arrived in Kent from Rome in 597. She will lead efforts to address declining numbers of church goers, including reaching younger people, and address financial challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
