Book Club Conclusion: A Feast for All Peoples
Avril Baigent had a very rich conversation with our guest speaker Archbishop Jason Gordon on the 25th June 2025, exploring the last chapter in the Final Synod Document ‘A Feast for all Peoples’, with great insights into how we can move from theory to action, using practical synodal tools to revitalise the vitality and passion within our churches, communities and personal lives of faith.
They also spoke about how to consider discipleship not only at key sacramental moments like Holy Communion and Confirmation, but as an evolving spiritual role throughout someone’s entire life, and how the simple four verbs of “relating, listening, discerning and self-emptying” helps turn us towards becoming a synodal church in our communities and contexts - amongst many other suggestions. So much and more to unpack from our Book Club series!
This event is the concluding session 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 unpacked with guest speakers a different section, reflecting on its theological and practical implications, with time for questions afterwards.
