The following document aims to be a synthesis of the many and lively discussions that took place in parishes and in other gatherings following the launch of the diocesan phase of the Synodal Process in October 2021.
Thanks are due to all participants at parish and diocesan meetings, to the facilitators, and also to the members of the Synodal Team who put this document together with skill and sensitivity.
I hope it will contribute to the further stages of the Synodal Process throughout the Church and provide a stimulus for our diocese.
Bishop Hugh Gilbert, OSB
