Description

The term ‘Synodality’ featured significantly at the Fifth Plenary Council of Australia and is a key term at the centre of the current Synod on Synodality 2021-2024. What does synodality mean and what is Pope Francis saying when he refers to synodality as “that which God expects of the Church of the third millennium” (2019)? Over two workshops, visiting scholar and editor of The Synodal Pathway: When Rhetoric Meets Reality, Professor Eamonn Conway, will unpack the meaning of synodality for our times. Areas addressed include the culture of listening, the importance of discernment and openness to change.
