Okay. When you're ready.

Hello. My name is Bishop Sarah Mullally. I'm deeply honored to have been called to serve as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury. I take up this calling with trust. Not in myself alone, but in God who guides us all. May we be bold in hope, generous in spirit, and steadfast in love, as we serve Christ and one another.
