The Church in Africa on the Synodal Path: Living Synodality in Local Churches

The Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) invites you to a Zoom webinar on how synodality can be translated in local contexts. The focus of this synodal process is on how the Holy Spirit is inviting local Churches to journey together. The People of God are being invited to embrace the spirit of dialogue, participation and co-responsibility so as to discern together how God is calling the Church to be in the third millennium. The General Secretariat for Synod of Bishops has urged groups to work together, through mutual listening and consultation of the People of God, in order to achieve the practice of synodality at all levels of the Church with everyone’s participation and contribution.

The discussion will be available in English and French.
