It’s great that the church has finally gotten to a place where women ( the majority of humans fyi) can be finally be so prominent in the church. I think it is far overdue
I’m not religious in any way too much deception in my opinion. Women will be and do better. Blessings. It is a great time to be alive in this golden age of equality.

Concerning the monarch, we mention him and his family in our State Prayers.
And when we worship using the 1662 Holy Communion Service.
It would worry me not if the Church of England was disestablished now. We gather as Christian to worship God, and draw on each others support. The monarch plays no part in this.
Sarah has a very difficult job to do, please hold her in your prayers, and thank God for her appointment.

I left that religion when I was 13 but she seems like a decent person who could move the church in positive ways.
Had to look her up. Was a bit concerned about the title of Dame at first. Given the history in Europe in general of aristocrats still getting to positions based on connections, not merit.

@SunshineGirl But when you look into what that actually involved it was being a wealthy supporter and nothing more. He didn't actually do anything much.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Yep, that's what most political appointees are like . . the editorial line of his newspaper was dogmatically conservative at a time when significant numbers of people still read newspapers.

@SunshineGirl For sure. He was a propagandist for the Conservative Party of Canada too.

I’ve met Sarah, she is welcoming, and inclusive.
I have no issues at all with female leaders in the church. There is evidence that they held high places in the early church, before the dominance of men took over.
There are some shameful pedophiles and perverts in the Anglican Church. Welby and Carey just covered it up. Sarah has been brought in to sort it out..
She has a strong living faith in the Lord.

@LeopoldBloom I’m sure Harold Shipman and Lucy Letby would support your view.
But to me life is precious.

@peterlee I have no idea if serial killers are pro-choice. I do know that Roger Taney would agree with you.
If life is precious, are you also opposed to taking human life in other circumstances, like warfare and self-defense? And if all life is precious, are you a fruitarian? Those are people who only eat fruit because eating animals and vegetables requires you to kill something.

@LeopoldBloom On a personal note, I have a grandson who is cleft. The National Health Service recommended a very late abortion. The little guy is now five and doing well.
I’ve worked with Down’s syndrome children, lovely people.Again our National Health Service recommends a termination.
Yes, life is precious. You only have one, make the most of it.
The subject of the post concerns the new Archbishop. One of her views is pro life.
I think I will leave my contribution there.

I'm more afraid of what it will be to the Anglican Communion as such. Will see but being an archbishop isn't just about being male or female either, nor liberal or conservative, nor traditionalist or evangelical, etc.

@samueltyler2 It was a female bishop who upset DJT at hos inauguration service in Washington National Cathedral. The US Episcopal Church is progressive in that way.

Hiw he covered up Smythe I don’t know.
The victims of course just want money.
I did not think much of Welbys initial support of Israel in the West Bank either. OK he quickly changed his view.

first female leader of the Church of England
With the CoE beginning in 597, these females would have been leaders of the CoE preceding this first female primate:
Elizabeth I, 1558 -1603
Mary II, 1689 - 1694
Anne, 1702 - 1707
Victoria, 1837–1901
Elizabeth II, 1952 - 2022

@FreddieUK Indeed, but, from Hank 8 on, the monarch HAS been that authority, and those queens after his break with Rome WERE the supreme leaders of the CoE.
From the wikipedia, for instance,
That doesn't say that the prime primate is a priori primus over the monarch.
And it has two primates, though York is "Primate of England" and doesn't get any special powers, just letters and letterhead.
I wonder if that title was the inspiration for the important letters in Dr. Strangelove...
From the wikipedia, for instance,
The British monarch has the constitutional title of Supreme Governor of the Church of England. The canon law of the Church of England states, "We acknowledge that the King's most excellent Majesty, acting according to the laws of the realm, is the highest power under God in this kingdom, and has supreme authority over all persons in all causes, as well ecclesiastical as civil."[214]

I think that like much of the unwritten British Constitution, the de facto head of the CofE (and at the moment) the worldwide Anglican Church is the Archbishishop of Canterbury and the Monarch defers to her/him in the same way as they defer to the elected Government and Parliament.

@FreddieUK True--regarding the CoE, and it is mentioned later in that part of the article--butn nonetheless, canon says the monarch is the ultimate Earthly authority in these matters.
So those women were the supreme Earthly authorities over the CoE during each of there post-Hank8 reigns. lol

Too right. A priests frock would suit a lady better than a hairy old bloke.
