First Female Archbishop of Canterbury Faces Multiple Challenges
Some speculate that the committee intends for Dame Sarah Mullally to be a "caretaker" archbishop, guiding the church through the discord of her predecessor's time.
The Church of England's newest archbishop of Canterbury was announced on October 3, coinciding with the release of Taylor Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl.
Bishop Mullally's predecessor, Justin Welby, resigned in November following a report detailing the church's mishandling and cover-up of sexual abuse by a lay leader at Christian youth camps in the UK and Africa.
Ministry involves a similar gauntlet of experiences, especially for the 106th archbishop of Canterbury, who will inherit an institution rocked by scandal and teetering on schism.
Dame Sarah Mullally will face multiple challenges as the first female archbishop of Canterbury.
