Pope Leo and Synodality

Presented by Theresa Gardner, Director of Christian Service, Loyola School, New York, NY. Theresa’s talk will be exploring the recent Synod on Synodality, started by the late Pope Francis. Its legacy and impact is continuing to be led by Pope Leo, as he leads the Catholic Church in the midst of climate change, political and social polarization, church leadership as it pertains to the laity and women, and questions relating to gender and sexuality, just to state a few of the stone contents. But most importantly, Theresa will discuss the synod’s primary mission, which was and continues to be how the church can walk with its members, listening with authenticity and openness to the lived experiences of one another.
