Austen Ivereigh and the London Jesuit Centre: The Spirit in the Assembly

The “path of synodality” is what “God expects of the Church in the third millennium” said Pope Francis in 2015. Now he has launched a global synod, involving every diocese, to enable the Church to move along this path, and become what the Second Vatican Council envisioned: a body in which all of its members are active participants in the Church’s life and mission, assisting in the discernment of where the Spirit is calling. In five talks to explore this transformative moment in the history of Christianity, Dr Austen Ivereigh shows how, like all true reform in the Church, synodality involves the revival of an ancient practice, modified to allow for the evangelization of today’s world.
