Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. Your hope is inspiring and I would be happy to hear more on this and other church synod/doctrine topics that are a bit mystifying to me. You remind me that the church is made up from separate individuals and we can make a small difference in how we treat others and try to listen and understand different points of view, even though we might not agree.

Paula - this is very inspiring! It is also a call to action that will take lots of work now. This is a process that might allow the Church to move forward. Hopefully, by the time a the next synod comes - the participation will be at a higher level !!!!!

Paula,

Your journey has only just begun! Maybe Synod is over for now, but we both know your Holy Spirit promptings are not. Get quiet and listen, and you will know where to go next. We will await your next posting 🙏❤️

Thanks, Paula, for sharing your story...it puts flesh and blood and heart-felt feelings , a human face, to the "Synod on Synodality" story which makes it a fuller story we all can approach.

You and the Spirit have done well, keep up the good listening. And I am not at all sure you can hang up your pen just yet....you may have a few more trips to the inkwell to go. P
