FIRST WOMAN ELECTED AS ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY IN ANGLICAN CHURCH HISTORY

Rev. Dr. Sarah Thompson has been elected the 108th Archbishop of Canterbury, breaking a 500-year tradition of male leadership. The theologian, known for her work on climate justice and interfaith dialogue, will be enthroned in March 2025. “This is a milestone for inclusivity,” said Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Reactions among conservatives remain mixed.
