Sarah Mullally made history on March 25 as the first woman to become Archbishop of Canterbury. She was formally installed at Canterbury Cathedral before about 2,000 people, including Prince William and Catherine. The ceremony began with her knocking on the cathedral door, following tradition. She said, “I am sent as archbishop to serve you.” Mullally, a former nurse, succeeds Justin Welby, who resigned after an abuse scandal. She has promised to make the church safer and support victims. She is now the spiritual leader of 85 million Anglicans worldwide and the 106th person to hold the role. (PC: Euro News)
