Il Fatto Quotidiano: Una donna per la prima volta leader della Chiesa d’Inghilterra: Sarah Mullally si insedia come arcivescova di Canterbury – Video

Sarah Mullally si è insediata formalmente come arcivescova di Canterbury. Si tratta della prima donna a ricoprire la carica di primate della Chiesa d’Inghilterra, storica confessione di Stato nel Regno Unito sin dallo scisma anglicano dal Cattolicesimo decretato nel 1534 da Enrico VII.
L’intronizzazione ufficiale si è svolta nella millenaria cattedrale di Canterbury alla presenza, tra gli altri, anche del principe William e della principessa Kate. La cerimonia è stata caratterizzata anche da una liturgia solenne.
Nel tradizionale question time del mercoledì, il primo ministro Keir Starmer ha augurato buon lavoro a Mullally davanti al parlamento britannico.
Mullaly, che ha un passato da capo infermiera nella sanità pubblica e che è già stato il primo vescovo anglicano donna di Londra, ha sottolineato alla Bbc la consapevolezza del “significato” della sua nomina arrivata dopo una serie di scandali sessuali culminati nelle dimissioni del suo predecessore, Justin Welby, accusato d’aver contribuito a coprire una vicenda di abusi su ragazzi compiuti nei decenni scorsi in seno alla comunità ecclesiale.

A woman for the first time leader of the Church of England: Sarah Mullally is elected Archbishop of Canterbury – Video

Sarah Mullally was formally installed as Archbishop of Canterbury. This is the first time a woman has held the office of primate of the Church of England, a historic state church in the United Kingdom since the Anglican schism from Catholicism decreed in 1534 by Henry VII.

The official inauguration took place in the millennium-old Canterbury Cathedral in the presence of Prince William and Princess Kate, among others. The ceremony was also marked by solemn liturgy.

In the traditional Wednesday question time, Prime Minister Keir Starmer wished Mullally well before the British parliament.

Mullaly, who has a background as head nurse in the public health service and who was previously the first female Anglican Bishop of London, emphasized to the BBC the “significance” of her appointment following a series of sexual scandals that culminated in the resignation of her predecessor, Justin Welby, who was accused of having contributed to covering up a case of abuse of boys committed in the decades past within the Eccles community.
