First female Archbishop of Canterbury still an outlier among world's top religious leaders

First female Archbishop of Canterbury still an outlier among world's top religious leaders 15 mins ago For the first time, a woman will serve as the Archbishop of Canterbury, following the 105 men who have held the role since St. Augustine took that position in the year 597. This means Bishop of London Sarah Mullally has broken through the Church of England’s highest stained-glass ceiling. But for many of the world’s religions, that barrier to women in top leadership remains firmly intact. Indeed, several major faiths don't let women minister to individual congregations, let alone take a position of broader leadership.
