Book Club: Extra Chapter
Our School for Synodality Book Club had its final live session last week! It’s been a fantastic experience for all involved. We are glad so many of you have engaged with the resources so far, both during the live streams with the rich discussions in the chat and the Q&A, and in your reflections afterwards.
We are very grateful to our guest speakers - Jos Moons SJ, Prof Anna Rowlands, Dr Estela Padilla, Prof Cathy Clifford, David McCallum SJ & Sandra Cheol, and Archbishop Jason Gordon - whose invaluable insights helped us to dive deep into the heart of the Final Document.

Book Club Feedback
We also really appreciate how the wider School for Synodality community got behind this project, sharing it with others and giving us a wonderful live audience on Wednesday evenings. We will reflect on how else we might make use of this treasure trove of material so that it can continue to serve the Church.
We would love to hear your thoughts, and how you may have been using this resource in your personal reflections, parishes and contexts. Please fill out this feedback form at your earliest convenience - we would love to hear how we did!
Join us for an interactive 'Extra Chapter' next month

We are thrilled that so many of you have shown such interest in our book club! So the School for Synodality will be hosting an 'Extra Chapter' on the 9th July, an online space with Avril Baigent and Fr Matthew Nunes to explore what we've learned so far, have a chance to share what’s been inspiring and challenging for you in the conversations, and possibly come together to chat in small groups.
