Description
Walking Together: The Way of Synodality by Pope Francis The concept of synodality is not just a buzzword, but an expression of the Church's very nature. It means walking together, listening, and collaborating under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This idea has been at the heart of Pope Francis's papacy, and he sees it as essential to his legacy for the Roman Catholic Church. In recent years, regular gatherings of bishops have taken place to address concerns of the universal church. However, Pope Francis wants to open this process up more widely to all members of the Church. A Synod on Synodality is underway, which will conclude with a gathering of church leadership in October 2023 and 2024. This book brings together reflections by Pope Francis, Cardinal Mario Grech, and Sister Nathalie Becquart, offering insights into this important theme. Through Walking Together, the authors explore what it means to be a community that is defined by collaboration and openness, rather than just top-down structures. This book provides a unique opportunity for readers to engage with the concept of synodality and its significance for the Church today.
