Meet Sarah Mullallay, the first female Archbishop of Canterbury
India, March 28 -- In a historic moment, Sarah Mullally has been formally installed as Archbishop of Canterbury, marking the start of her public ministry as the first woman to lead the Church of England in its 1,400-year history. The ceremony was held earlier this week at Canterbury Cathedral in England, where she took her seat on the 13th-century Chair of St Augustine. "As I begin my ministry today as Archbishop of Canterbury, I say again to God: 'Here I am'," she told the congregation as she delivered her inaugural sermon.
Before her ordination, Mullally built a distinguished career in healthcare. She worked as a cancer nurse within the UK's National Health Service and went on to become director of nursing at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London. At 37, she made history as the youngest chief nursing officer for England in 1999. Despite her success in public health, she always felt drawn to a religious calling.
Mullally was ordained as a priest in 2001 and left her government role in 2004, calling it one of the most significant decisions of her life. Her journey from healthcare to church leadership now marks a defining shift in history.
The event was attended by around 2,000 guests, including Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, with William representing King Charles III as heir to the throne. Prime Minister Keir Starmer was also present, alongside senior clergy and global faith leaders.HTC...
