“A synodal Church is a Church which listens, which realizes that listening “is more than simply hearing”. It is a mutual listening in which everyone has something to learn. All listening to each other and all listening to the Holy Spirit, the “Spirit of truth” (John 14:17) in order to know what God “says to the Churches” (Revelation 2:7).

Pope Francis – Message on the occassion of the 50th Anniversary markiing the First Synod.

As individuals and as a community of Faith, we are asked to share and listen to one another on our experience of Church:

•        Looking forward… our fears + hopes…

We are asked to listen with understanding, to respect each other’s experience, and to try to walk in the other person’s shoes.
