We are at a mid point between the Synod on Synodality, ending in Octber 2024 and the start of the next phase in 2026-2027. It is an appropriate time to identify, to celebrate and to share examples of good practice from different parts of the universal Church. This is a process – it identifies some areas from which we might learn- and as such it has no natural end point. In three or six months we should be able to highlight other examples of where synodality has taken root and strengthened the local church.
ICRN is working with partner networks – CCRI, We Are Church Intl, and Spirit Unbounded – to identify some examples of where synodality has taken root and started to nourish the church envisioned by Pope Francis.
In November 2025 we will be holding a series of presentations from different parts of the world to reflect progress towards a synodal Church – from Asia and Africa, from Europe and Latin America. It should be the start of a series in which we can reflect on the different ways in which local culture and priorities are reflected in the way that the Church is moving forward.
The series will be presented each week, starting on Wednesday 12th November for four weeks. The sessions will begin at 19.00 GMT and last approximately one and a half hours. The final session in this series will be Wednesday 3rd December. In addition to the presentations there will be an opportunity to discuss the issues with others. The recordings of the presentations are being shared across our networks, to reflect our common purpose and to ensure that the series can be accessed in different time zones, as appropriate.
There is no charge for joining these sessions but registration is essential
