Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally has called on Christians to remain hopeful and steadfast despite life’s challenges, assuring believers that God’s presence never departs, no matter the circumstance.
She delivered the message upon her arrival at the Kotoka International Airport on Saturday, July 25, for her first official visit to Ghana — and her first pastoral trip to Africa since becoming the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury in March this year.
Addressing journalists, Archbishop Mullally said her mission was to strengthen the faith of Christians and remind them of the unchanging assurance of God’s companionship.
“I’m coming home, so we just need people to know that God is with us, and we come to share together in that joy of the gospel,” she said. “It’s about encouraging people in their Christian discipleship… Christ is with us, alongside us. And in the ups and downs, the joys and the difficult moments of our lives, God walks with us.”
She urged Christians to draw inspiration from Isaiah 43, emphasising that God calls each believer by name and gives them identity and boldness in Christ.
The Archbishop is in Ghana for a 10‑day pastoral visit at the invitation of the Primate of the Church of the Province of West Africa and Bishop of Asante‑Mampong, Most Rev. Dr. Cyril Kobina Ben‑Smith.
Her itinerary includes engagements with Anglican congregations, clergy and church leaders across Ghana and Cameroon, worship services, pastoral interactions, and learning sessions on the challenges and achievements of Anglican communities in the region.
Beginning Sunday, July 26, Archbishop Mullally will visit four Anglican parishes in Accra before preaching at St. Joseph the Worker Anglican Church, Kaneshie, during a Eucharistic service led entirely by female clergy.
She will later join Archbishop Ben‑Smith to lay the foundation stone for a pilgrimage hostel under the Anglican Church in Ghana’s Heritage Anglican Culture Village and Resorts initiative — a facility supported by USPG to host members of the African diaspora seeking cultural rediscovery and healing.
On Monday, July 27, she is expected to pay a courtesy call on President John Dramani Mahama at Jubilee House before meeting and praying with Bishops of the Internal Province of Ghana.
