Credit: The Church of EnglandSarah Mullally was announced Friday as the next Archbishop of Canterbury, marking the first time a woman has been chosen for the position.Her election by the College of Canons was formally confirmed by King Charles III, the church said in a statement.Mullally will be officially installed at Canterbury Cathedral in March 2026.She said in a press release:As 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.At every stage of that journey, through my nursing career and Christian ministry, I have learned to listen deeply – to people and to God’s gentle prompting – to seek to bring people together to find hope and healing.I want, very simply, to encourage the Church to continue to grow in confidence in the Gospel, to speak of the love that we find in Jesus Christ and for it to shape our actions.And I look forward to sharing this journey of faith with the millions of people serving God and their communities in parishes all over the country and across the global Anglican Communion.”I know this is a huge responsibility but I approach it with a sense of peace and trust in God to carry me as He always has.The 60-year-old will succeed the former Archbishop Justin Welby, an outspoken leftist who used his position to advocate for progressivism and open borders at every possible opportunity.While many members hoped that the Church would return to its traditional Anglican roots, Mullally is another ideological liberal.I am sure that Sarah Mullally thinks she is called to the priesthood, and to the office of Archbishop.But the unfortunate reality is that women cannot be priests.Priests are men because Christ was male, and he chose men as his Apostles.That isn’t sexist.That’s scripture. pic.twitter.com/pOmLYKta5Z— Samantha Smith (@SamanthaTaghoy) October 3, 2025A self-described feminist, she is also an open adovcate of abortion and has supported initiatives such as LGBT+ History Month.BREAKING: New Archbishop of Canterbury supports abortion“I would suspect that I would describe my approach to this issue as pro choice rather than pro live [sic]” Sarah MullallyThe Church of England has lost all moral credibility.
