With the conclusion of the Synod on Synodality a year ago, the focus has turned to implementation. However, the commitment to making synodality a prominent feature of Church activity and Catholic life generally in Australia and New Zealand seems to be sporadic at best. Few parishes have made it a priority and the concept is still neither understood nor accepted at parish level to any significant extent.
Indeed, it is regularly claimed that parish clergy are largely passively avoidant in relation to promoting or implementing the Final Document of the Synod. Why is this? If true, how can it be turned around?
In The Afternoon of Christianity: The Courage to Change, author Tomas Halik asserts the conviction that personal spiritual accompaniment will be the crucial pastoral role in the Church of the future.
How would this play out for priests in a synodal Church?
Fr Joe Grayland and Fr Brendan Reed will discuss this and related issues.
