A Woman as Archbishop of Canterbury

[Love365]

Could a woman be the next Archbishop of Canterbury ?

Yes. The Church of England has been ordaining women as bishops for about 10 years.

Since we're in the "bridge-builders" forum, though, I'll note that a female Archbishop of Canterbury would be an extremely divisive choice right now. Given Canterbury's role in the Anglican Communion, and given how divisive an issue women's ordination is in the Communion, I think a male Archbishop would be a pastorally better choice. If chosen well, he might have a chance at building bridges.

As we have female Bishops, there is no reason why we may not have female Archbishops.
So, yes; they could.
