as posted by the channelCould the historic appointment of a first female Archbishop of Canterbury cause a split within the Anglican Church?
Dame Sarah Mullally has been chosen for the role while the Church is arguably in a state of crisis - but also at a time when there has been a surge in attendance among young people.
She's the first woman to lead the Church of England in its almost 500-year history - the question now is, what impact she will have on its future.
Who is Dame Sarah and why was she chosen? How big a moment is this for the Church? What challenges will the new archbishop face and what qualities will she need to address them?
Niall is joined by Ruth Gledhill, religious affairs commentator and assistant editor of The Tablet.
