It is mutual listening in which everyone has something to learn. The faithful people, the college of bishops, the bishop of Rome all listening to each other, all listening to the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth.\"\u003cbr\u003e-Pope Francis, 10\/17\/15 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePope Francis has invited the universal Church to embrace an ancient approach and walk the path toward synodality. In fact, he calls for every parish to use synodality practices. But what would that look like in practice?Michael Papesh shares his decades of experience in ministry, parish, and diocesan leadership to explore how synodality practices can be applied to all aspects of parish leadership and enliven your community. Most chapters are two pages long for easy use in parish meetings.
