On Friday 3 October, the Church of England announced that the Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally would succeed Justin Welby as Archbishop of Canterbury.
There has been a substantial response from all quarters - not surprising given how big the news is. I’ve seen some responses along the lines of arguing that the new appointment offers the best of a poor set of options, and some bemoaning the terrible disaster that they consider this to be. Those responses from within the CofE have a uniting theme: evangelicals can and must stay and fight in the Church; they must not desert their flocks and must continue to care for them.
