Synodal Church - The Christian Faithful on Pilgrimage

Hoping to revitalize the Catholic Church, Pope Francis launched a global initiative in "synodality" to promote a more inclusive approach to decision making. This book illuminates this revolutionary movement, both in theory and in practice, demonstrating that the path forward is a step-by-step process of dialogue, conversion, and co-responsibility.
