Synodality

During the Pandemic, Pope Francis presented us with a new image of church: that, no matter who we were, we were together in the same boat. The worldwide Synod process came out of that desire to engage with our changing world and with those on the margins, to regain a renewed sense of purpose and mission. However, putting this into practice is not so simple As a church, we don’t necessaritly ha=ve good ways of listening to voices on the margins and connecting to people’s lives. Dr Sandie Cornish is well placed to take on the task of finding ways that ignatian spirituality, with its emphasis on discernment and deep listening can perhaps help this integration process.
