Continental Meetings of the Synodal process
We have seen the success of Pope Francis’ Synodal process around the world with
the greatest ever participation of laity and clerics in such a listening
process.
The same themes kept coming up: Women; Sexuality; LGBTQ+; Shared
decision making.
The title of the DCS says it all: “Enlarge the Space of your tent.” It is essential to welcome as equals ALL who venture into the tent. The Church is not a club. The challenge is to build a truly Synodal Church from the current patriarchal monarchy.
WAC is pleased to have members involved in the Continental meetings.
