Aleem Maqbool speaks to Dame Sarah Mullally, shortly before being
confirmed as Archbishop of Canterbury. She's the first woman ever
to lead the Church of England. It is a tough time for the Church
and its leader who has to hold together people with a broad range
of opinions across the Anglican Communion, one of the largest
Christian communities in the world. Dame Sarah's election has
upset some traditionalists who have threatened to leave the
church because they are against the role of women in leadership.
And, with her predecessor leaving because of his failings over
abuse in the church, her stance on safeguarding, along with
reparative justice and the blessings in church of same sex
couples, are all in the spotlight. A former nurse, Dame Sarah
rose to become England's chief nursing officer before being
ordained. She says that there are strong links between nursing
and being a priest - not always finding a cure, she says, but
trying to heal. The Interview brings you conversations with
people shaping our world, from all over the world. The best
interviews from the BBC, including episodes with Hind Kabawat,
Syria's only woman minister, and Nigel Casey, the UK's ambassador
