In a letter addressed to the entire People of God at the close of this month's synosd discussion, participants rejected suggestions that the process has been influenced by ideology and said contemporary Church must be better at listening and inclusion, the Crux website reports today (Oct. 26, 2023).
Published Oct. 25, the letter called the synod "an unprecedented experience,"noting that, for the first time, lay people, including women, were invited to take part not as observers but as full voting members.
Through "conversation in the spirit," participants said they were able to share the "wealth and poverty" of their respective communities from every continent in order to discern "what the Holy Spirit wants to say to the Church today."
