The Synod: Where are we NOW? – via Zoom

September 28, 6:30-8:00pm (Central Time)

$10 preregistered/prepaid.

Register by September 27.

In 2021, Pope Francis called forth a Synod of Synodality that is now intended to continue until 2024. As we move though this historic event certain questions arise: Where are we with the process? What have we learned? How will the synod impact the church moving forward? Please join us for an update on the Synod by the only United States woman Theologian, Dr. Kristin Colberg on the planning commission from St. John’s in Collegeville, MN. She had participated in many of the phases of this event and will lead us in reflecting on what the synod hopes to achieve, how it works, and a discussion of what it means for our local communities, the whole church and us.

Kristin Colberg, Ph.D., is an associate professor at Saint John’s University and School of Theology and the College of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, MN. She began studying theology as an undergraduate at the University of Notre Dame. A required class helped her see the ways that a theological tradition helps people make sense of their experiences of God, themselves, and the world. Since that time, she has focused on the question “how can the church speak meaningfully to the questions of modern people?” Her research and writing related to this question centered in the areas of ecclesiology and ecumenism. She has been appointed by the Vatican as a member of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission (ARCIC) and the theological commission supporting the Synod on Synodality.
