The Primate: Into a New Decade

In this episode Jamie Howison interviews Archbishop Linda Nicholls, the Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada.

Archbishop Nicholls was elected to the office of Primate at the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada, held in July 2019. At the time of her election she was serving as Bishop of the Diocese of Huron, and prior to that as Area Bishop of the Trent-Durham region in the Diocese of Toronto. She also has almost twenty years of ministry experience as a parish priest in the Diocese of Toronto, and also worked for the national church as Coordinator for Dialogue for Ethics, Interfaith Relations and Congregational Development for the Anglican Church of Canada. A graduate of Wycliffe College in Toronto, she also holds degrees in music and education, as well as a Doctor of Ministry from the University of Toronto.

Archbishop Nicholls is the first woman to be elected to the office of Primate of the Canadian Church, and only the second woman in the worldwide Anglican communion to serve as a primate.
