Synodal document

A synodal document is an official statement or report created after a gathering of Church leaders and members to discuss faith, practice, and community life. It reflects collective insights, ideas, and priorities discussed during a synod— a structured meeting held to foster dialogue and decision-making. These documents aim to guide the Church's direction, promote unity, and address contemporary issues by capturing the perspectives shared during the discussions. In essence, a synodal document serves as an authoritative reflection of the Church’s journey and reflections at a specific moment in time.
