flag Dame Sarah Mullally becomes the Church of England’s first female Archbishop of Canterbury, succeeding Justin Welby.

flag Dame Sarah Mullally will be officially confirmed as the Church of England’s first female Archbishop of Canterbury on Wednesday, succeeding Justin Welby, who resigned over safeguarding failures. flag A former chief nursing officer and Bishop of London, Mullally has pledged to address systemic issues, strengthen safeguarding, and promote accountability. flag Church officials praise her leadership, though a complaint over her handling of a 2014–2015 abuse allegation was dismissed, with the complainant allowed to appeal. flag She will assume legal duties Wednesday, meet with the King and Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and deliver a presidential address in February before her full installation in March. flag Officials stress the need for scrutiny but also support giving her space to lead the Church’s renewal.
