By Stephen P. White, The Catholic Thing - Different members of the Body of Christ, each with his own unique gifts, charism, vocation, or state in life, must learn to work in concert in service to the mission for which we all share responsibility by virtue of our Baptism. This is what people mean when they say synodality is learned by doing it... Everywhere that the Church is alive and thriving today, this dynamic is present, whether anyone thinks to call it “synodality” or not.
