US EditionArchbishop of Canterbury Job Advert Goes Live – and for the First Time They Could Be a Woman
- The Church of England has published a job description for the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, a vacancy left by Justin Welby in January 2025.
- Welby stepped down after a scathing review criticized the Church of England's response to abuse allegations involving John Smyth QC, a former Christian camp leader known for extensive misconduct.
- The Diocese of Canterbury issued a Statement of Needs this week, reflecting input from a public consultation with more than 11,000 participants earlier this year.
- The statement requires a leader of theological depth and utmost integrity who can speak honestly, show compassion, and engage constructively on topics including same-sex marriage, and allows the candidate to be male or female.
- The Church of England has opened the Archbishop role to women for the first time, and the Crown Nominations Commission will use the Statement of Needs and public views to nominate the next archbishop, possibly by autumn 2025.
