First Female Archbishop of Canterbury Faces Challenges
The Church of England has appointed its 106th archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, amidst turmoil in the institution.
Mullally's predecessor, Justin Welby, resigned in November after a report revealed the church's mishandling of sexual abuse by a lay leader at Christian youth camps in the UK and Africa.
Some speculate that Mullally will serve as a "caretaker" archbishop to guide the church through this difficult period.
Ministry involves a similar gauntlet of experiences, especially for the 106th archbishop of Canterbury, who will inherit an institution rocked by scandal and teetering on schism.
The announcement of Mullally's appointment coincided with the release of Taylor Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, on October 3.
