Archbishop Sarah Mullally
Electronic book text
A Biography
Examining the formation of Dame Sarah Mullally's character and priorities, and the shaping of her Christian faith, this biography offers insight into what drives the first female Archbishop of Canterbury forward, and how she is likely to navigate the many debates raging across church and nation.
Archbishop Sarah Mullally: A Biography is an authoritative study of the first woman to be Archbishop of Canterbury in Anglicanism's 1,400-year history. Engagingly written and expertly told, Atherstone's biography charts Dame Sarah's distinguished career and her rapid rise through the ranks of two of Britain's most important institutions: the National Health Service and the Church of England. In nursing, she rose from a student trainee to become the youngest ever Chief Nursing Officer in the Department of Health. In the Church, she began as a volunteer curate, rising through parish rectory and cathedral canonry to become the first female Bishop of London, and now the first female Archbishop. Her appointment is a defining moment not only for the Church of England but for international Christianity.Buy now!
