SYNOD 2021-2024 - After 3 years of listening and journeying together, we're now looking towards October when the next session of the Synod of Bishops will take place in Rome. Instrumentum Laboris, the working document of the synod on synodality’s 2nd session was released recently by the Vatican. It will guide the work of the 2nd session and will address “How to be a synodal Church in mission”. It offers reflections and proposals on topics such as the role of women and the laity, the ministry of bishops, priesthood and the diaconate, the importance of the poor & migrants, digital mission, ecumenism, and abuse.
