Synodality, he says, is not something the Church does--but an expression of its being: walking together, listening, and collaborating under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRegular \"synods\" of bishops have gathered since Vatican II to address concerns of the universal church. But Pope Francis has wished to open this process more widely to the People of God. In a process begun in 2021 which will conclude with a gathering of church leadership in October 2023 and 2024--a Synod on Synodality--Francis seeks to enable a church and church structures that are defined less from the top-down, and more through the participation of all members of the Church in a spirit of collaboration and openness. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlong with Pope Francis's principal reflections on this theme, \u003ci\u003eWalking Together \u003c\/i\u003eincludes reflections by Cardinal Mario Grech, the Secretary of the Synod of Bishops, and Sister Nathalie Becquart, undersecretary of the General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christianity \/ Catholic\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Church \/ General\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRELIGION \/ Christian Theology \/ Ecclesiology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWALKING TOGETHER\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Way of Synodality\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePOPE FRANCIS\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface by Cardinal Mario Grech\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction by Sister Nathalie Becquart, XMCJ\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN 978-1-62698-524-7 \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eORBIS LOGO\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover design: Wilma Sheehan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8.19 x 5.28 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 02, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760956178720,"sku":"9781626985247","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/401a006af772e65b65255965dd0e4579.webp?v=1780195178","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/walking-together-the-way-of-synodality-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
