"It is fair to say that I have, both in my secular role as well as in the church, experienced misogyny at times. She added that it should be discussed so that you bring it out into the open. I'm conscious that being in this role, it's important for me to speak of it, because there are some that don't necessarily have the status or the power of this role, and feel more hesitant to do it."
"What I hope to do is to be able to provide a space where I can offer hospitality to people, where I can listen to what their concerns are and, in a sense, find some way in which we can at least have partnership together in that way."
Sarah Mullally was legally confirmed as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury at a service at St Paul’s Cathedral, becoming the first woman to hold the post. Mullally pledged to call out misogyny, saying she has experienced it in both secular and church roles and wants it discussed openly to support those with less status or power. She offered to provide hospitality, listen to concerns and seek partnership with those who find female headship difficult. Some African Anglican leaders expressed dismay, arguing the majority of the Communion believes the Bible requires male-only episcopacy. Questions remain over safeguarding and her stance on same-sex matters.
