A New Archbishop of Canterbury is Announced

THE RT REVD AND RIGHT HONOURABLE dame SARAH MULLALLY, BISHOP OF LONDON, ANNOUNCED AS ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY DESIGNATE

I am delighted at the announcement of the news this morning that Bishop Sarah, the current Bishop of London,,is to be the new Archbishop of Canterbury.

I believe her appointment marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the life of the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion. In my encounters with her, I have found her to be a person of great grace, humility and wisdom; all qualities, along with a depth of faith, from which the church will greatly benefit in the years ahead.

Bishop Sarah will take up her post in the new year. As she prepares for her new role, I hope we will all keep her in our prayers.

Revd Rachel Wilson - Vicar - 3rd October 2025
