Sarah Mullally will become the first female leader when she officially takes charge of the church in March 2026. A group of conservative Anglican churches across Africa and Asia criticized the appointment.

Probably good that the Archbishop who failed to act on an abuse scandal left.
The church moved him to Zimbabwe where he continued to abuse boys for decades. He even killed a 16 year old boy in 1992.
So while this is a “progressive” move, we should remember the big picture.
Let’s not forget that institutions have a tendency to put women on a glass cliff. They put women in leadership positions during difficult times so they can quietly fix underlying issues while also acting as a scapegoat, then they replace her with a man once back on track. They also get the try and distract from bad publicity by extolling “progressive values”.
The CoE is dying as the Anglican communion is dying as well. This is an attempt to try to bring new blood in

It’s a faith of tens of millions. Your claims are unhinged.
Are you saying the only difference between being a cult or not is the number of followers??
No as the age of the faith is also a factor but otherwise religions are just cults that became very successful.
Religions are just cults where the founder has been dead long enough.
Well, there was one who came back for a little bit, so they say.
Yeah with how many people voted for Trump in America I believe People everywhere are unhinged and anybody that follows any religion is completely unhinged because they have zero basis of reality and it’s all manufactured

They don’t do this for a stone age thunder god even though that is El/Allah/YHWH’s origin.
You have bits and pieces of an education regarding this subject but not the full picture and thus your conclusions are inaccurate at best.
that’s just a historical reconstruction theory LOL, stop treating it as if it’s an undisputed fact.

Religious peopleare the overwhelming majority. The majority arent abused and damaged people.
You seem like the type of person that said I need context for Charlie Kirk, the guy was a dick and an asshole and a racist but you wanna say you need more context, go jump up yourself
Ehh dont change the subject. 1 thing has nothing to do with another. That’s crazy person arguing.
“Sally” was right there and her parents fumbled it.
If women, LGBTQ, or minorities are not allowed in leadership positions then the equality and acceptance they preach is only placation and not genuine. It’s not surprising it took this long and there is still push back coming from religions founded on an iron age anthology that treats women as property.
The secular definition of that is different from the religious one
Henry VIII would not approve.
“…In Church of England, you can’t say, “You must have tea and cake with the Vicar, or you die!” You can’t have extreme points of view, you know. The Spanish Inquisition wouldn’t have worked with Church of England.”
Is this the same Church Of England that was burning suspected papists for heresy during its formative “teen rebellion” years?
It is all very tea and crumpets now, of course.
YOU!! CAKE OR DEAAAATH??
Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry…
Ahh ah… You said death first!!
Well, I meant cake!
VERY WELL. Give him cake.
unbelievable, god will be really unhappy now
Is that Miss Geist from Clueless?
So wait does she molest little boys still or does she molest little girls instead? I’m not up on the church’s rules.
Neither as the CoE lets clergy be normal people and thus aren’t celebate.

Nopebit they tend to be better than most because of the more realistic take.
I love that Richard Coles is a vicar and had a husband.
Neither. She beats the fuck out of you with a yardstick.
But wait she’s not a nun?
She just likes the wardrobe.
There’s pictures in the article. No need to make things up.
