BoardSynodal Process 2021-2028
This document outlines 'The Synodal Process', a strategic roadmap spanning from 2021 towards 2028, focused on fostering a Synodal Church through phases of listening, encountering, dialoguing, and discerning. Key stages include Phase 1: The Consultation of the people of God, Phase 2: The discernment of the Pastors (including the XVI General Ordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in October 2023 and October 2024), and Phase 3: The implementation. The plan details continental and local evaluation assemblies, leading to an Ecclesial Assembly in the Vatican by October 2027, with implementation pathways extending into 2028.
