Canterbury Cathedral and The Diocese of Canterbury are delighted at today’s announcement of Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury.
We look forward to welcoming Sarah into our worshipping community and to working closely with her in shared ministry.
Today’s announcement is truly momentous. Sarah is the first woman ever to be appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in the role’s 1,400-year-history, and we celebrate this significant moment in the life of the Church of England, the Worldwide Anglican Communion, and the diocese of Canterbury.
