During the election service at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Rev. Paul Williamson boldly voiced his opposition to Dame Sarah Mullally’s confirmation as archbishop. He cited concerns over alleged falsehoods connected to the tragic death of a fellow clergyman, as well as deep theological disagreements.
The situation underscores the ongoing fractures within the global Anglican Communion, particularly regarding matters of biblical doctrine and leadership roles. Mullally’s appointment has been met with criticism from conservative Anglicans who are determined to uphold Scriptural truth.
“Continue to be the person who exercises the gifts, wisdom and experience that your life has given you; and continue to be the one whose life is shaped and nurtured by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
These events highlight the critical need for the Church to stand firm on biblical principles amid changing cultural tides. Now more than ever, Christians are called to defend faith, family, and freedom as core values.
