The first female Archbishop of Canterbury has warned against overlooking victims harmed by "the failures of those in our own Christian churches and communities" during her installation as leader of the Church of England.
In her first sermon as archbishop, Dame Sarah Mullally said: "We hold victims and survivors in our hearts and in our prayers, and we must remain committed to truth, compassion, justice and action."
Addressing a congregation of some 2,000 guests at Canterbury Cathedral, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, she said she prayed for those affected by war in the Middle East.
Also present were nurses and carers from Canterbury, to reflect Dame Sarah's long career as a nurse.
The service, historically known as an enthronement, marked the symbolic start of Dame Sarah's public ministry as the Archbishop of Canterbury.
