- On January 28, The Right Reverend Dame Sarah Mullally will be legally made Archbishop of Canterbury and enthroned at Canterbury Cathedral on March 25 as the first woman to lead the global Anglican Communion of around 85 million people.

- Some clergy are already conducting stand-alone blessings in defiance of national guidance, notably Simon Butler at Holy Trinity in Guildford, while the General Synod approved prayers and trials with safeguards.
- Gafcon leaders, including Archbishop Laurent Mbanda of Rwanda, have signaled they will withdraw cooperation and described Dame Sarah Mullally's appointment as `a leader who will further divide an already split Communion`, with critics warning of a rupture in global Anglican relations.
