First Female Archbishop of Canterbury Faces Challenges
The Church of England's newest archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, is set to inherit an institution rocked by scandal and teetering on schism.
Her predecessor, Justin Welby, resigned last November following a report on the church's mishandling and cover-up of sexual abuse by a lay leader at Christian youth camps in the UK and Africa.
Some speculate that Mullally will be a "caretaker" archbishop, tasked with guiding the church past the discord of Welby's time.
Ministry involves a similar gauntlet of experiences, especially for the 106th archbishop of Canterbury.
This news coincided with the release of Taylor Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, which explores the highs and lows of life on stage, mirroring the challenges Mullally will face in her new role.
