Former chief nursing officer Reverend Dame Sarah Mullally has been named the Archbishop of Canterbury, making her the first woman to be appointed to the role in the Church of England’s history.
Dame Sarah succeeds Reverend Justin Welby, who announced he would be stepping down over safeguarding failings almost a year ago.
Her appointment makes her the most senior bishop of the Church of England and the spiritual leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
