FRANCE 24 English Cancer nurse turned archbishop installed as first female Church of England leader • FRANCE 24

A former cancer nurse who became a priest at the age of 40 is to become archbishop of Canterbury, publicly celebrating her election as the first woman to lead the Church of England. Although she was nominated in January, the ceremony marks the symbolic start of her public ministry. Her appointment has been criticised by conservative voices in the Church, who continue to oppose the possibility for women to be priests at all. FRANCE 24’s Bénédicte Paviot breaks it down for us.
