About

The Church of England is a Christian church and the mother church of the Anglican Communion. Recent news focuses on the installation of Sarah Mullally as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury, marking a significant moment in the church's history. Mullally's initial actions and statements are under scrutiny, including her acknowledgement of the pain caused by abuse within the church and her commitment to addressing it. The Church is also expected to formally apologize for its role in forced adoptions and the UK's mother and baby home scandal. Furthermore, the Archbishop has voiced support for peace amid international conflicts, echoing calls from Pope Leo XIV. Prince William has stated he is not devout, but supports the Church. The Church's role in British society and its relationship with the state are also being debated, particularly in light of the Green Party's push for a separation of church and state.
