As well as another Elizabeth, Anne, Victoria, etc. But they held a different position.

No - the monarch is the head of the CofE, not the Archbishop of Canterbury - that position is a first amongst equals style British fudge for who administers the CofE day-to-day..

Not necessarily. They thought they had one in Oilwellsby.

Yes, I should have said first female head of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Well, minus the misogynistic bits that decide to depart in the near future.

This is going to get a couple of Anglican dioceses' cassocks in a twist here in Australia which still don't allow women priests.

The Swedish Church had it's first female archbishop in 2013, and it's still here, despite the dire prophesies at the time. Makes me quite sad; I was hoping the prophesies were right for once.
