The Installation of Sarah Mullally as the new Bishop of London at St Paul's Cathedral. The Rt Revd and Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally DBE being installed as the 133rd Bishop of London at St Paul's Cathedral. The service coincided with International Nurses Day, Florence Nightingale's birthday, echoing Bishop Sarah's own former career in the NHS as a nurse, including as Chief Nursing Officer, before her ordination. Clergy, staff and friends, from across the Diocese of London, the wider capital, and the Church of England, came together as Bishop Sarah followed the tradition of knocking three times on the Cathedral's Great West Door with her pastoral staff, marking the beginning of the installation. Bishop Sarah's sermon, on the theme of being subversive for Christ, remarked that 150 years ago this week, suffragettes placed a bomb under the same seat in which she had just been enthroned as the first woman to be Bishop of London. She also spoke of the need to challenge injustice and inequality, and of the pivotal role the Church has to play across London. Geoff Pugh for the Telegraph |
