New Archbishop poses challenge for evangelicals

Evangelicals in the Church of England are facing fresh challenges following the announcement that Sarah Mullally is to be the new Archbishop of Canterbury.

The appointment of a woman with liberal views on a number of issues will prove difficult not only for reformed evangelicals in the CofE but for the wider Anglican Communion, which is more conservative than the Church of England.

The new Archbishop of Canterbury issued a short video statement on X in which she introduced herself to the nation.
