Historic first as Archbishop of Canterbury meets Mahama on maiden Africa visit

President Mahama congratulated Archbishop Mullally on her historic appointment as the first woman to lead the Church of England in its nearly 1,400-year history.

The President also reflected on the Anglican Church’s longstanding contribution to Ghana, recalling the work of early Anglican missionaries in Cape Coast and the role of Philip Quaque, who was sent to England in the mid-1700s to study before helping establish schools in Ghana.

The Archbishop also noted that the Anglican Church is one of the world’s largest Christian communions, comprising 42 provinces across 164 countries.
