Fee: $60
Mar 22, 2023 - Apr 25, 2023
鈥淐ommunion, Participation, and Mission,鈥� the theme for the Synod on Synodality reflects the life and aspiration of the Catholic Church.听 How do we come together in Christ with our human diversity?听 How do we contribute through our various vocations and ministries to the shared life of faith?听 And how do we carry the message of the Gospel out into the world in fruitful ways?

In this course we reflect on these issues of being church as well as the Church鈥檚 teaching role, sacramentality, differences of culture, and the tension between the Church鈥檚 transcendent nature and its engagement with the human world.听听

鈥淲e are convinced that the Church must look with penetrating eyes within itself, ponder the mystery of its own being, and draw enlightenment and inspiration鈥� -Pope Paul VI听Ecclesiam Suam
