Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Sarah Mullally was confirmed as the first female and 106th archbishop of Canterbury during a formal ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Wednesday.
Mullally, 63, previously was Britain's top nursing officer and had been the bishop of London since 2018. She said she has received significant support for her appointment as archbishop.
"There's a sense of the weight of office that I feel, but I've also been very conscious of the huge support that I've had from people either writing [to me] or passing me in the streets," Mullally told the BBC.
She said raising awareness of misogyny will be among her goals in her new role.
