Book Club: the geeky week with Prof Cathy Clifford
We are already on the fourth episode of our Book Club! This was the ‘geeky week’, as we explored part 4 of the Final Synod Document together.
Avril Baigent had a great conversation with our guest speaker Professor Cathy Clifford , on the fourth chapter called ‘The Conversion of Bonds’, talking about how the concept of parishes is being redefined in the face of rapid change, reflecting on how we personally view power structures, and the importance of lay people understanding these structures and how decisions are made.
This event is the fourth in a series of conversations hosted by the School for Synodality and synod experts to reflect on the Final Synod Document in more depth. For 6 weeks, the School for Synodality’s Director Dr Avril Baigent unpacks with guest speakers a different section, reflecting on its theological and practical implications, with time for questions afterwards.
