Recommended: Towards the Assemblies 2027-28
What concrete form of a missionary synodal Church, and what new paths of synodality, are emerging in your community?
The General Secretariat of the Synod have published a document as a guide for local churches, called Towards the 2027–2028 Assemblies: stages, criteria, and tools in preparation for the 2027–2028 Assemblies’. The worldwide Synodal Assemblies planned for the coming years constitute a decisive step in the implementation of the Synod.
The implementation phase does not introduce additional tasks alongside the ordinary life of communities; rather, it orients and renews that life from within. The indications offered here are intended to help give more concrete form to the process already underway, by specifying the involvement of the local Churches and of the different spheres of ecclesial communion.
