Synod Session 1

Session One: Experiences of Church

Join us for the first session of the Synod at St. Ignatius, where we will share stories of encountering the Church. 

Because the Spirit is revealed through our life more than our ideas, we begin our discernment with hearing and telling our stories of encountering the Church. What has been your personal experience of communion, participation, or mission? What experience has drawn you closer or pushed you from the Church?
While listening to others, you may want to note what you are feeling (sorrow, joy, compassion, resistance, etc.) and ask yourself the source of those feelings.

NB: In all the sessions, participants will be asked to share in a small group—either organized at random or, for those who wish it and would find sharing easier, by affinity groups.
