Online Meeting

It will be an opportunity to hear about the work of School for Synodality, the
resources, and programmes that they are developing and
information about good practice in some parishes / dioceses in England and Wales.

ACTA will be holding three separate sessions to discuss some of the key
issues in the Synthesis Report published at the end of the First Session
of the Synod. The areas chosen for discussion relate to some of the
critical issues affecting the laity and their role in the future of the Church.
Members will be involved in discussions which will form part of the
response that ACTA makes to the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of
England and Wales and the Vatican.

The sessions will be delivered via Zoom on three consecutive Sundays
from 10-24 March 2024.

The six areas chosen for discussion include:
Session 1
Part 1 Chap 1 – Synodality: Experience and Understanding
Part 1 Chap 4 - People in Poverty, Protagonists of the Church's Journey

Session 2
Part 11 Chap 8 - Church is Mission
Part 11 Chap 9 - Women in the Life and Mission of the Church

Session 3
Part 111 Chap 16 - Towards a Listening and Accompanying Church
Part 111 Chap 17 - Mission in the Digital Environment

While members will look at specific questions there are significant
elements within other chapters. For example Chap 4 considers the
People in Poverty while Chap 16 considers the need for accompaniment
including the poor and marginalised. Chapter 8 considers the missional
nature of the Church but Chap 18 expounds on how this is to be
reflected in the structures of the Church. Some chapters refer to
particular constituents [ the role of women] while other sections consider
the needs for improved formation to undertake key ministries.
