Practicing Synodality Webinar Series 2023

While the first Synod assembly of the 2021-24 Synod takes place in Rome in October 2023 there will be a renewed focus on the potential of Synodality in our Church. During this time the School for Synodality will be starting a series of eight webinars exploring becoming a listening Church with speakers from both England and Wales and from across the world that can help us explore what the practice of Synodality looks like in our own communities.
