Conservative church group condemns choice of female Archbishop of Canterbury

Dame Sarah Mullally's appointment as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury has caused division within the Anglican Communion, with the conservative group Gafcon expressing sorrow over the historic choice. Gafcon opposes the ordination of women bishops and same-sex unions, criticizing Dame Sarah's stance on these issues. However, others within the Church, like the Church of Southern Africa, praised the appointment as a significant moment in history and hope for a more inclusive and reconciliatory leadership under Dame Sarah.
