First Female Archbishop of Canterbury – Leaderess of the Worldwide Anglican Communion
For the first time, the title Archbishop of Canterbury goes to a woman. Mrs Sarah Mullally, the current Bishoppess of London, has been appointed by King Charles and will be confirmed in January 2026.
Born in 1962, Mrs Mullally worked as a nurse and later became England’s youngest Chief Nursing Officer. In 2018, she became the first female Bishop of London.
She is married and a mother of two.
Mrs Mullally is a supporter of abortion: “I would describe my approach to this issue as pro-choice rather than pro-life.”
She also adheres to the homosexual ideology: "Our eyes have been opened to the harm that we have done, especially to LGBTI+ people."
Regarding homosexuals: "The church seeks to demonstrate love to all, because it reflects the God of love, who loves everybody."
Mrs Mullally has dyslexia, and has said that she finds reading out long genealogies in Scripture quite difficult.

It breaks away from the Apostolic succession
In the rite of conferring and administering any sacrament one rightly distinguishes between the ceremonial part and the essential part, which is customarily called the matter and form. […] Now, the words which until recent times were everywhere held by the Anglicans as the proper form of priestly ordination, namely, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit,’ certainly do not in the least signify definitely the order of priesthood, or its grace and power, which is especially the power ‘of consecrating and of offering the true Body and Blood of the Lord,’ in that sacrifice which is no ‘nude commemoration of the sacrifice offered on the Cross’ [see n. 950]. Such a form was indeed afterwards lengthened by these words, ‘for the office and work of a priest’; but this rather convinces one that the Anglicans themselves saw that this first form was defective, and not appropriate to the matter. But the same addition, if perchance indeed it could have placed legitimate significance on the form, was introduced too late, since a century had elapsed after the adoption of the Edwardine Ordinal; since, moreover, with the extinction of the hierarchy, there was now no power for ordaining.
