Perhaps lost among the many preparation documents for the Synod on Synodality, was a proposed method for synodal gatherings - the Spiritual Conversation - a way of listening to the Holy Spirit and each other where each can truly be heard.
Be encouraged to use this video to help your parish transform how we speak and listen to each other, from the heart, as People of God. For more information, visit the Synod Resources page, the document on Spiritual Conversation, or watch this introduction by Fr. John Sardis, SJ. |
