Section II: Walking together (synodos)
-16-
From the how to the what of Synod implementation
The movement from Synod to synodality is, however, only a first step, speaking to us more about the “how” than the “what” of Synod implementation. While much of our time since the Assembly has been spent imagining “how” the whole local church might “walk together” in the implementation of our Synod Priorities, what remains is an articulation of the “what” of our Synod Priorities.
Indeed, we might fairly say that the question posed by the disciples of John the Baptist still fundamentally remains for us to answer: “What then shall we do?” To determine this “what,” I have been relying upon the excellent work of the Synod Members as they prayerfully voted on the Synod Propositions that had been formulated in light of the prior Synod consultations. I like to think of the results of their voting as the “data” of the Holy Spirit. But with so much data, how can we begin to make sense of it all?
