In the Christian community, the Church of Uganda has expressed deep disappointment over the appointment of  Bishop Sarah Mullaly, as the next Archbishop of Canterbury.

Most people are disappointed in the selection because she was supporting same-sex marriage as “unbiblical” and contrary to historic Anglican teachings.

In a statement issued on October 3, 2025, by the Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu, the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, the church described the decision as a “grievous development” that further widens the division within the global Anglican Communion.

Rev. Sarah Mullaly, New Archbishop of Canterbury

“Our sadness about this appointment is her support and advocacy for unbiblical positions on sexuality and same-sex marriage that reveal her departure from the historic Anglican positions that uphold the authority of Scripture for faith and life,” Archbishop Kaziimba wrote.

“This appointment has now taken the tear in the fabric of the Anglican Communion to the highest level of leadership,” the statement reads.

“There appears to be no repentance. Make no mistake, this is a grievous decision at the highest levels of the Church of England to separate itself from the vast majority of the global Anglican Communion.”

Archbishop Kaziimba reaffirmed that the Church of Uganda, as a founding member of GAFCON (Global Anglican Future Conference), no longer recognizes the Archbishop of Canterbury as having global authority over the Communion.

In conclusion, here at our platform we call upon the new appointed bishop Sarah Mullaly to always be against sex marriage of the same gender
