THE next Archbishop of Canterbury is to be the Rt Revd Sarah Mullally, the Bishop of London since 2018, Downing Street announced on Friday. Before ordination, Bishop Mullally trained and worked as a nurse in London, becoming a senior civil servant in the Department of Health. Processes that follow the announcement include the election of the Archbishop-designate by the College of Canons of Canterbury Cathedral, followed by a Confirmation of Election in January, when the Archbishop-elect legally becomes the Archbishop of Canterbury. After this, the Archbishop will pay homage to the King before being installed in the Chair of St Augustine at Canterbury Cathedral. A press conference to reveal the 106th Archbishop is being held in Canterbury on Friday morning.
