Archbishop of Canterbury makes historic first visit to Cameroon

Sarah Mullally, Archbishop of Canterbury, made a historic pastoral visit to Cameroon, becoming the first person to hold the office to visit the country. On August 2, Mullally preached at a Eucharist service at Bishopcourt in Douala, addressing a congregation that included parishioners, bishops, and clergy from across the Anglican Diocese of Cameroon, as well as government officials and traditional leaders. In her sermon, Mullally encouraged the Anglicans present to remain steadfast in their faith, telling them that "God sees your struggles and is with you." She emphasized the significance of her visit, describing it as a joy to be at the heart of her pastoral work in the diocese. The visit marks a notable moment in the relationship between the global Anglican leadership and the Cameroonian church, as no previous archbishop of Canterbury had traveled to the country in an official capacity.
