Her appointment follows the resignation of Justin Welby, who stepped down last November due to a safeguarding scandal involving the Church's handling of serial abuser John Smyth. Currently the Bishop of London, Dame Sarah brings extensive experience, including a previous role as England's chief nursing officer, and was made a Dame in 2005. This historic selection marks a significant advancement for women's roles within the Church of England, following previous milestones such as the first woman bishop in 2015. Dame Sarah is known for her progressive stance on same-sex blessings, having described a recent vote on the matter as a "moment of hope for the Church".
