In his letter, the Bishop encourages churches, ministries, schools and other groups to participate in a process of conversation and listening to the Holy Spirit that will lead up to a worldwide Synod of Bishops in 2023.
Pope Francis is inviting everyone to participate in the upcoming Synod of Bishops, both Catholics and those who may not be practicing.
The Synod's theme is: “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, and Mission.”
"The purpose of the Synod, and therefore of this consultation, is not to produce documents, but “to plant dreams, draw forth prophecies and visions, allow hope to be nourished, inspire trust, bind up wounds, weave together relationships...” (Preparatory Document, 32)
