LONDON (LifeSiteNews) — The formal confirmation of Sarah Mullally as the new Anglican archbishop of Canterbury was interrupted when a pastor publicly objected and was forcibly removed from the service. The ceremony marked Mullally’s legal confirmation as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury and Anglican Primate of All England, following her appointment announced on October 3, 2025. Williamson, who became a pastor in 1973, has long been publicly opposed to the ordination of women in the Church of England. Witness accounts circulated after the service state that Williamson was restrained, handcuffed, and escorted out of the cathedral. “This is our habemus mamam moment,” the Anglican bishop of Dover, Rose Hudson-Wilkin, told the congregation soon after the confirmation, clearly making a play on words about the Catholic papacy.
