Walking Together in Communion, Participation and Mission Reflections on the Synod on Synodality, October 2023
Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ
I recently returned from the month-long first assembly of the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, held in the Vatican from 4th to 29th October at the behest of Pope Francis. The Synod is a representative episcopal body established by St Paul VI following the Second Vatican Council to assist the pope in better governing the universal Church.
