Sarah Mullally: The First Female Archbishop of Canterbury
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Episode 5 of Blessed & Stress: Religion and Politics Across the Pond, Katie Gaddini and Sheyi Martins-Allen explore the appointment of Sarah Mullally as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury, and what her leadership means for the future of the Church of England.
As she steps into one of the most influential roles in global Christianity, we unpack the challenges she faces, including growing religious conservatism in the UK and the rise of Reform-aligned Christian movements, along with debates over LGBTQ+ inclusion within the Church.
We also examine the shifting political landscape, including the evolving faith narrative of Kemi Badenoch, and the cultural fallout from Donald Trump’s viral “AI Jesus” post.
