Priest interrupts Canterbury election of its first female archbishop
An Anglican priest interrupted the Confirmation of Election service for Dame Sarah Mullally, the Church of England’s first female archbishop of Canterbury, shouting “I object!” Williamson, who opposes women’s ordination, linked his protest to Mullally’s alleged false allegations about a late clergyman; Mullally’s installation is scheduled for March 25 amid ongoing tensions within the Anglican Communion over gender and sexuality.
