What is synodality? How can lay people, deacons, religious, and priests cooperate in building a Church community that walks and listens together?
This lecture by Dr. Kristin Colberg, a member of the international Theological Commission during the Synod on Synodality, will offer insights into the meaning of synodality. Attendees will engage in a “Conversations in the Spirit” small group listening exercise and learn about the Archdiocese of Chicago’s involvement in this worldwide movement.
Dr. Kristin Colberg’s scholarship focuses on the Church with an emphasis on Vatican I, Vatican II, and synodality.
