Anglican Communion

The Anglican Communion is a worldwide association of churches in communion with the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury. While the Communion has no formal head, the Archbishop of Canterbury is traditionally regarded as its spiritual leader. The organization is currently newsworthy due to the historic installation of Sarah Mullally as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. This event marks a significant moment in the Church of England's history, which spans nearly 1,500 years. Mullally's appointment comes at a time of transition for the Church, with hopes that she can restore its reputation. Some African church leaders have expressed concern. Mullally has vowed to address misogyny and safeguarding issues during her tenure. Her leadership is seen as a potential turning point for the Anglican Communion, navigating challenges while embracing inclusivity.
