- On March 25, Dame Sarah Mullally will be enthroned at Canterbury Cathedral as the 106th and first female Archbishop of Canterbury.

- International primates and a Holy See representative will join the ceremony, which includes more than two dozen primates from the Anglican Communion and first female Anglican bishops from Africa.
- Wednesday's ceremony will mark the start of her ministry, with officials monitoring a meningitis outbreak in Kent and no safety measures planned, while she expressed sympathy for affected families.
