The People's Synod Announced

All global indicators point to CHANGE. Science tells us about the Big Bang and the ongoing history of the cosmos. A living faith tells us that God's creation continues to emerge toward a peace and oneness for which we all yearn. We as people of God can contribute to this emergence by coming to the first-ever Peoples Synod in Dallas, October 12-14, 2018, to experience deep listening - a new method of dialogue that brings people together.

This gathering is not only about what happens at the event, but far more about what the participants take home and do with it afterwards.

In an interview with Kimberly F. Baker in America, he noted that Pope Francis, while maintaining the traditional exclusion of women from priestly ordination, has appointed a "study commission...to look at the question of women in the diaconate." Phyllis Zagano, a leading American theologian, is a member of that commission. Click here to download a PDF of the full article.
