At the Synod in Rome: Ep 4


Listen Later

What does synodal leadership mean for a bishop? Archbishop Ryan Jimenez is wrestling precisely with that question after being appointed as the new archbishop of Agaña, Guam, amid a crisis of sexual abuse in his diocese.

He's new to the synod – his appointment came after the first assembly last year – but he's using this month in Rome for deep reflection on his role in what he believes is the 'era of the laity.'

As president of the Episcopal Conference of the Pacific (CEPAC) he also brings lived experience of Pope Francis' peripheries – in the region and in his own migrant story – to the synod table.

This episode was recorded in the Centro Velehrad after the forum at the Augustinianum on 'The Role and Authority of the Bishop in a Synodal Church.'
