Dame Sarah Confirmed as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury

Today, we rejoice in the confirmation of The Rt Rev and the Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, held in London, England. With this confirmation, she formally becomes Archbishop of Canterbury. We give thanks for her calling and look forward to her spiritual enthronement in March, as she continues her ministry and leadership as the spiritual head of the Anglican Communion.

A Prayer for Bishop Sarah:

Almighty God, you call your Church in every age

to proclaim the Gospel of Christ:

look with mercy upon your servant +Sarah,

and grant that, as deacon, she may care for those in need,

as priest, sustain us with the ministry of word and sacrament,

and as bishop, guard the faith

and build up the body of Christ in holiness.

Give her wisdom and kindness

that as archbishop, she may promote unity, seek truth,

and lead us in the way of righteousness and peace;

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

Amen.
