Synodal Church

The Synodal Church refers to a model of church leadership and decision-making characterized by shared consultation, dialogue, and collaboration among bishops, clergy, and the faithful. "Synod" means "journeying together," emphasizing that the church grows and makes decisions collectively, listening to diverse voices within the community. This approach fosters greater unity, transparency, and active participation, reflecting the church’s belief in the guidance of the Holy Spirit through communal discernment. It aims to build a more inclusive, responsive church that considers the experiences and insights of all its members.
