With the Synod on Synodality the whole Church invited to enter into a new phase of receiving the teachings articulated by the Second Vatican Council on the Holy Spirit, revelation, baptism, the People of God, the sense of the faithful, hierarchical authority as service, inculturation, etc.

After listening to the People of God in the local churches around the globe, for the first time in history, the People of God expressed through seven Continental Ecclesial Aseemblies what the Spirit is saying to the churches in their own context. Along with the reports of the continental assemblies, this book contains seven studies written by participants in these assemblies. They provide insights with regard to where and how the meetings were held, who participated in which way, what methodology was used and how these reports came about The studies enable an exceptional opportunity to learn about the diversity of the Assemblies leading to a remarkable unity their outcome.

The book captures a unique moment in history. It is a great resource to discern what the Holy Spirit through the People of God is saying and how this will affect the process of renewal and reform deeply rooted in Vatical II, which Pope Francis encourages the Church to implement by building a more synodal Church fit for its future mission.
