Cathedral IOM celebrates appointment of first female Archbishop of Canterbury

Cathedral Isle of Man has called the election of the first woman as Archbishop of Canterbury a 'momentous day for the worldwide Anglican Communion'.

 A former NHS chief nurse, Dame Sarah Mullally became a priest in 2006 and was appointed as the first female Bishop of London in 2018.

The Church has been without someone in the top job for almost a year after Justin Welby resigned over a safeguarding scandal.

The Very Reverend Nigel Godfrey MBE congratulated her on her appointment, adding she'll bring a 'wealth of experience and knowledge to this most challenging of offices'.
