The Synod: Where are we NOW? (via Zoom)

January 26, 6:30-8:00pm (Central Time)

$10 prepaid/preregistered. Preregistration is required.

A Zoom link will be sent the morning of the event.

Pope Francis called a Synod of Synodality that opened in 2021 and now is 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?  Dr. Kristin Colberg serves as the only theologian from the United States on the Theological Commission supporting the synod. She 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 in a discussion of what it means for our local communities, the whole church, and us.

Kristin Colberg is an associate professor at Saint John’s University and School of Theology and the College of Saint Benedict.  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 center 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. She lives in St. Joseph, Minnesota, with her husband, Shawn, and two daughters, Mary Clare and Catherine.
