Reading the Final Synod Document Together | School for Synodality Book Club

School for Synodality Online Bookclub - 'Reading the Final Synod Document Together' 

21st May - 25^th June 2025 | 7:30pm - 8:30pm BST

Join us each week as Avril Baigent and invited speakers take sections of the Final Synod Document and unpack it, with time for questions afterwards. 

The last stage of the three year Synod journey was the Final Synod Document, the recommendations from the Assembly which Pope Francis has taken into church teaching, and which he has asked us to implement. The Document is beautiful but rather technical in places, so the School for Synodality has organised an online bookclub with a global cast of experts (biographies here) to help us reflect on it together.
