The Uniting Church in Australia joyfully congratulates The Rt Revd Sarah Mullally, named today the newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. Bishop Mullally makes history as the first woman to serve in this globally significant role within the Church of England and the Anglican Communion.
In a statement tonight, Uniting Church President Rev Charissa Suli writes:
"This is an affirmation of our deep and long-held belief that the gifts and call of the Holy Spirit are poured out freely, without boundary or restriction of gender, for the leadership of Christ’s church. This appointment is a powerful witness that Christ’s body cannot be whole without the love, vision, dedication, leadership and giftedness of women."
