Emanating from the Irish Church but with contributions from leading scholars in the UK, US, Venezuela, Germany, Italy, France, The Netherlands and Australia, this book of fifteen essays provides:

• An introduction to the meaning of synodality and its rich foundations within the Catholic tradition
• Makes the case for synodality as “that which God expects of the Church of the third millennium” (Pope Francis)
• Argues that failure to embrace the synodal path is not an option if the Church is to have any meaningful role to play in the third millennium.
