Sarah Mullally will become the first female leader when she officially takes charge of the church in March 2026. A group of conservative Anglican churches across Africa and Asia criticized the appointment.

    Probably good that the Archbishop who failed to act on an abuse scandal left.

    The church moved him to Zimbabwe where he continued to abuse boys for decades. He even killed a 16 year old boy in 1992.

    So while this is a “progressive” move, we should remember the big picture.

    Let’s not forget that institutions have a tendency to put women on a glass cliff. They put women in leadership positions during difficult times so they can quietly fix underlying issues while also acting as a scapegoat, then they replace her with a man once back on track. They also get the try and distract from bad publicity by extolling “progressive values”.

          Are you saying the only difference between being a cult or not is the number of followers??

          Yeah with how many people voted for Trump in America I believe People everywhere are unhinged and anybody that follows any religion is completely unhinged because they have zero basis of reality and it’s all manufactured

            They don’t do this for a stone age thunder god even though that is El/Allah/YHWH’s origin.

            You have bits and pieces of an education regarding this subject but not the full picture and thus your conclusions are inaccurate at best.
