Bishop of Monmouth named first female Archbishop of Wales amid Bangor Cathedral concerns
Cherry Vann has been appointed as the 15th Archbishop of Wales, making history as the first woman to hold the position. She succeeds Andrew John, who retired amid controversies following safeguarding reviews at Bangor Cathedral that uncovered inappropriate behavior and a permissive culture, though there was no suggestion of misconduct by John himself. Vann, previously Bishop of Monmouth, was elected by a two-thirds majority of the Church in Wales' electoral college and will continue serving as Bishop of Monmouth alongside her new role. She has pledged to address the safeguarding issues raised, promote healing and reconciliation, and rebuild trust within the Church and its communities. Vann's background includes being among the first women ordained as a priest in the Church of England and serving as Archdeacon of Rochdale. Church leaders have expressed confidence in her ability to bring stability and vision during a challenging period for the Church in Wales.
