Synodality 101: Conversations in the Spirit Workshops
A free three-part series held online
Tuesdays - 20th & 27th January, & 3rd February 2026, plus follow up on 24th March
2:00pm - 4:00pm GMT
How do we listen to each other well?
How do we step back from our own agendas to be attentive to where the Spirit is moving?
How can we make better decisions about organising ourselves as Christian communities?
How do we enrich our parish communal life with enriching conversations?
The Synod process has emphasised the importance of listening and good conversations in our community life. However these are not always so easy in practice! This 101: Conversations in the Spirit workshop series will introduce the principles of holding prayerful, truthful and safe conversations which value gracious listening and courageous speaking.
It is suitable for all levels of experience including people who have not been involved in the Synod process so far. You will be supported to hold your own 'trial' conversation over the course of the sessions, and reflect back on your experience with the group. We will also hold a conversation in the Spirit each week.
There will be a follow-up session on Tuesday 24th March 3pm-4:30pm to give an opportunity for sharing experiences, insights and questions having had some time to apply the learning from the workshops.
After attending these workshops, we hope you will have the resources you need to hold a conversation in the spirit in your community.
