Reforming the Church: A Synodal Way of Proceeding

Reforming the Church analyses ministries, participatory structures (e.g., pastoral councils, synods, etc.), pastoral institutions (e.g., parishes, etc.), the role of the laity and especially women and couples in the Church, the formation programs in seminaries and the decision-making and decision-taking models, among other topics where concrete reforms are needed.

The book covers six perspectives/parts: The synodal form of church; scripture and tradition--the consensus ecclesiae; pathways to renewed ministries; coresponsibility versus clericalism; reforming structures; and the future--an ongoing synodal spirituality.
