Draw ‘as many voices as possible’
LA’s local synodal process aims to draw ‘as many voices as possible’
In early October, Pope Francis officially launched a two-year process of listening and discernment that calls for the participation of every one of the world’s 3,000-plus Catholic dioceses under the title, “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission.”
In the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, where a leadership team has begun activating the levers and fulcrums to initiate the process, the task of carrying out the synod’s local phase involves entering some uncharted territory, due to lingering uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the wide scope of local participation this year’s synod calls for.
But so far, the archdiocese’s recently named synod process coordinator is taking the task in stride.
