"In a world already torn by conflict, suffering, and division, we must also acknowledge the hurt that exists much closer to home.”
Dame Sarah Mullally has been installed as the leader of the Church of England - becoming the first woman to hold the title.
The service, historically known as an enthronement, marked the symbolic start of her public ministry as the Archbishop of Canterbury.
In her sermon, Dame Sarah - whose predecessor Justin Welby resigned in 2024 over criticism of his handling of a serious abuse case - acknowledged survivors of "the failures of those in our own Christian churches and communities".
She also said her teenage self "could never have imagined the future that lay ahead”.
