- A Synod is usually a gathering of the bishops. The original meaning of the word is roughly "together on the way". We're journeying together.
- This particular synod, the Synod on Synodality, is to help the Church (i.e., all of us) learn how to do synods, how to journey together well.
- We're learning how to listen to each other - in order to help us listen to the Holy Spirit - both now and in the future.
