Acting Dean of Wakefield, Dr Philip Hobday, said “Wakefield Cathedral joins people across the Church of England, and Christians around the world, in praying for Bishop Sarah as she becomes the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury.  Bishop Sarah will now bring her substantial experience of church life and public service to serving the Diocese of Canterbury, Church of England, and wider Anglican Communion.  As she helps the Church of England as we pray, share the good news of God’s love, serve local communities, and continue the work of making our churches safe and welcoming places for everyone, she and her family – and our friends at Canterbury Cathedral – will be much in our prayers over the coming months.”
