Plenary Matters

At the Synod in Rome: Ep 8


Listen Later

Two of Australia’s most seasoned representatives at the Synod in Rome, Susan Pascoe AM and Bishop Shane Mackinlay, join Geraldine to discuss what’s in the final document and what happens next. While the pace of change may vary in different parts of the church, they both have witnessed moments of conversion – and grace – throughout the 3-year process.

For Susan Pascoe, a facilitator and member of the methodology commission that produced the initial guide for the global synod on synodality, and part of the writing team for the continental stage, the authenticity of the process now needs to be reflected in the implementation phase. And Shane Mackinlay sees parallels with Australia’s Plenary Council in how synod delegates responded to the process around the issue of women in the church.
