Cherry Vann has made history as the first woman to lead the Church in Wales—and the first openly LGBTQ+ cleric elected as Archbishop of Wales.
She was chosen on Wednesday after an electoral college met for two days of deliberations at St. Pierre Church near Chepstow. Her election follows the resignation of Andrew John, who stepped down last month after almost four years in the role amid a high-profile safeguarding review at Bangor Cathedral.
