Archbishop Sarah Mullally

Marking the installation of Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury – the first woman to take the role, at a time of unprecedented levels of challenge facing the Church of England – this unique book is essential reading for all who care about the future of the national church and the wider Anglican Communion. The book opens with an insightful biography and exclusive interview with Sarah Mullally by journalist Tim Wyatt, helping us to better understand her qualities as a person, as a pastor and as a leader. This is followed by ten short chapters by prominent Anglican writers, each outlining the background and scale of the most significant challenges facing Archbishop Sarah as the new leader of the Church of England. The Afterword by Rowan Williams offers words of solidarity from someone who has been there before.The chapters and writers are: Spirituality (Mark Oakley), Mission (Chantal Noppen), Anglican Unity (Amatu Christian-Iwuagwu), Safeguarding (Andrew Graystone), Climate Crisis (Ruth Valerio), Same-Sex Marriage (Charlie Bell), Transgender Inclusion (Christina Beardsley), Disability Inclusion (Emily Richardson), Poverty (Jon Kuhrt), Nationalism and Racism (Eileen Harrop). Each chapter is written candidly but constructively, in a spirit of hope, and ends with a prayer for strength and support for Archbishop Sarah.
