"As I look back over my life I could never have imagined the future that lay ahead, and certainly not the ministry to which I am now called."
"I don't underestimate the challenge this is for some people in the Anglican Communion, but equally I don't think we should overplay that."
Sarah Mullally has been installed as the first female archbishop of Canterbury, becoming the 106th person to hold the position. The 90-minute ceremony included her knocking on the cathedral door and was attended by notable figures. Mullally's appointment is significant as women have only been allowed to become priests since 1994 and bishops since 2014. The ceremony included multilingual sections to reflect the global reach of the Anglican Communion. Despite some opposition, the event was celebrated as a joyful occasion by church leaders.
