If this works. this link should take you to an interview with ++ Sarah from the Archbishopric's Facebook page. If it works at all, you may need to click on a little sound icon in the top left hand corner to get the sound.
I suspect it gives a better impression of her and who she is than most of the reports by others which tend to be strained through their aspirations of who they want her to be or not to be.
It's about a quarter of an hour.
Rather than sitting through a video to see if it comes up, I’m just wondering about her position on the Creeds, sacraments, bodily Resurrection of Christ, etc.
To me there is no reason why (1) assisted dying, (2) appropriate and well-funded palliative care, and (3) societal respect for disabled and older people couldn't all sit side-by-side as part of healthcare as a whole - that can't be so rare a viewpoint that there's nobody else that feels similarly.
Sorry - I stuck numbers in to help comprehension of my reply.
I’m sympathetic to that, but also sympathetic to those who say ‘sort out palliative care before moving on assisted dying’ - because at the moment three is improving but probably not there yet, one is coming down the track, and two is very uneven - to the extent that assisted dying could well end up a better option on the basis of geography…
Lots of things sound strange to me too, but it's easy enough to look online or ask someone who is actually involved with whichever church we happen to be talking about.

She doesn't really talk about these issues in the interview and that isn't why I was offering it. It is more that I suspect she gives a better impression of who she is, what she is like, than anyone can get from reading reports by other people, most of whom are looking to her to fulfill their own idiosyncratic and incompatible packages rather than God's or what she thinks God might be calling her to concentrate on.
There is a sufficient clue, though, in the interview, for someone from a British context to conclude that she is likely to be theologically pretty orthodox.
A previous ABC was mistakenly referred to more than once as “Rowan Atkinson”. I suppose I should be glad that Megan Mulally (Karen in “Will and Grace” is not so well known these days…!

Megan Mullally indeed immediately came to my mind when I saw the new archbishop’s name.

At least that's how I read the joint statement from the 'flying bishops'.
The flying +'s.
