Sarah Mullally has been formally confirmed as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury during a service at St Paul’s Cathedral. This was the legal moment when the responsibilities of the office were vested in her, ahead of her installation in Canterbury and the start of her public ministry. Presided over by Stephen Cottrell, the ceremony brought together bishops, clergy, laity, schoolchildren and representatives from across the Church of England and the global Anglican Communion. Archbishop Sarah took the oath of allegiance and made the declaration of assent, before receiving words of encouragement known as 'The Charge'. Archbishop Stephen urged her to 'be yourself', affirming that God has called her with her own gifts, experiences and perspective to serve Christ and build the Church. The service reflected the Church’s diversity and concluded with Archbishop Sarah’s first blessing, as prayers were offered for discernment, unity and faithfulness in her leadership. See
