LEARNING MORE ABOUT BECOMING A SYNODAL CHURCH.
People asked to have more opportunities to learn; here is an online course run by The University of Sophia, on synodality. There are three taught modules online and one in person meeting. The best way of using this resource is to find a few interested people in your parish and meet and study together.
Those who intend to register for the entire course must do so by 15 January 2023. Those wishing to follow one or more modules, on the other hand, have a deadline of:
● 4 February for the 1st Module
● 4 March for the 2nd Module
● 6 May for the 3rd Module
Please do not hesitate to email us at formation-mission@hallam-diocese.com if you have any questions.
We don't want money to be a barrier for people to get involved in the formation and mission invitations, so please do get in touch if this is a concern.
