Archbishop of Canterbury

Bishop David writes:

“I am delighted that Dame Sarah Mullally is to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury. She is a person of great wisdom and insight, as well as deep Christian faith. It is a particular joy to me that we now have a woman in the office of archbishop, only a decade or so since women became eligible for episcopal posts in England. In the years I have known and worked with Bishop Sarah, I have found her to be a great bishop and an excellent colleague. Please join me in holding her in our prayers as she prepares to take up this most demanding of roles.”
