The Centre for Catholic Studies (CCS) at Durham University held a two-day symposium, ‘Learning Together on the Way’, which explored the potential synergy between Synodality and Receptive Ecumenism between 21st-23rd June 2023.

Nearly 140 participants were invited from various traditions along with Church Leaders, practitioners, and theologians in England and Wales, some of whom gave briefing papers. The School for Synodality’s co-director Avril Baigent was invited to facilitate some of the sessions held at the Symposium .

The 2023 Bishop Dunn Memorial Lecture was presented by Sr Nathalie Becquart XMCJ, Undersecretary of the Office of the Synod of Bishops, in which she explored the essential interrelationship between Ecumenism and Synodality.

There was a papal message for the Symposium you can view here, and the event was featured in The Tablet.
