There are three key concepts that shape walking together:
Communion - These conversations lead to conversion to Christ and commitment to active
participation in the life of the Church and the mission given by Christ.
Participation - The people of God talk with one another and listen to one another about
questions that matter.
Mission - The communion exists for a common purpose; mission flows naturally from the
experience of walking together: ‘listening, discerning, proclaiming’.
Try to make listening your special gift as we grow into the habits of ‘listening, discerning and
proclaiming’. There will be much to hear, and much to tell. However, the experience of walking
together is just as significant as we seek to become, even more, a Synodal Church.
Discussion Forum Tuesday 23rd November has been cancelled and replaced by
Laudato Si Action Platform and LiveSimply : Tuesday 30 November 5:00pm – 6:15pm
Online event to find out how the new Laudato Si Action Platform will work and how we as livesimply communities can be part of this Global Catholic journey of ecological conversion being promoted by Pope Francis and the Vatican. Presented by Monica Conmee and Maria Elena Arana.
