Synodality & Co-Responsibility - ONLINE

Synodality & Co-Responsibility is the second online conversation in the Light from the Southern Cross - Catalyst for Conversation series. Synodality and Co-Responsibility are key themes in the Report.

In July 2021, CRA launched a series of online ‘conversations’ as a catalyst for dialogue to explore ‘The Light from the Southern Cross’ Report, a rich resource which needs to be considered deeply. These online conversations are also a source of formation opportunities.
