Synod on Synodality - Boston College MOOC (Massive Online Open Course)- Part II

The first MOOC offered last July was excellent dealing with scripture and discernment. This second course leads us deeper into the process of synodality, inviting us to take our baptismal promises seriously as lay people. 

History, Theology and Practice of Synodality

Presentation of the course

The Synod on Synodality, inaugurated in October 2021, has reached its Continental Phase. The voices of the local Churches around the world that were heard in the first Diocesan Phase have been gathered in the Working Document for the Continental Stage. This will require a process of deepening, discernment and formation to stimulate the awareness and practice of a Synodal Church.

Through an online platform you will have access to a series of pre-recorded videos during the months of February and March 2023. The course uses an asynchronous and fully online format that allows the videos to be viewed at any time. The videos are pre-recorded and available in Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, Italian and German.

This initiative has been organized by the Latin American members of the Theological Commission of the General Secretariat of the Synod and the Ibero-American Theology Group. It has the support of Catholic Universities around the world through a digital platform hosted by the Department of \”Formación Continua\” at Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. It also has the sponsorship of the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM), the Latin American Confederation of Religious women and men (CLAR), the Consilium Conferentiarum Episcoporum Europae (CCEE), the Federation of Asian Bishops\’ Conferences (FABC), the International Union of Superiors General (UISG) and the Union of Superiors General (USG), along with other ecclesial counterpart organizations.
