London (CNN) — Sarah Mullally was on Friday appointed as the new Archbishop of Canterbury, becoming the spiritual leader of 85 million Anglicans worldwide and the first woman to hold the role.
Mullally, 63, was made Bishop of London in 2018 – the Church of England’s third most senior bishop after the archbishops of Canterbury and York. Before her ordination, Mullally worked as a nurse at hospitals in London, going on to serve as Chief Nursing Officer for England and director of patient experience in the National Health Service.
Mullally’s elevation to archbishop was only possible due to reforms under Justin Welby, the former leader who resigned last year over a child abuse cover-up scandal, who allowed women to be consecrated as bishops a decade ago.
