Appears in 1 story
Legally confirmed; formal installation scheduled March 25, 2026
For 1,400 years, only men held the position of Archbishop of Canterbury. On January 28, 2026, Dame Sarah Mullally's legal confirmation at St Paul's Cathedral ended that streak, making her the 106th person—and first woman—to lead the Church of England. She now serves as symbolic head of the global Anglican Communion's 85 million members across 165 countries.
