Bishop Sarah Mullally named as new
Archbishop of Canterbury
She is the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury
in our church history,
and the first woman.
The role of Archbishop of Canterbury
is almost an impossible job,
serving so many people
with so many views and opinions,
and from so many backgrounds and cultures.
Please pray for special grace for
Archbishop Sarah,
the Church of England
and the whole Anglican Communion.
Fr Chris.
Father Chris in
St Mark’s Church,
serving all of Tuscany
and Emilia Romagna
