Last week, representatives from the four Catholic bishops conferences of Oceania and the Eastern churches gathered in Melbourne to carry forward the next stage of the global Synod on Synodality. The group was reflecting on and responding to the Working Document for the Continental Stage released by the Synod of Bishops Secretariat, titled Enlarge the Space of Your Tent. The discernment and writing group was convened to prepare a draft report from Oceania to be considered at next month’s assembly of the Federation of Catholic Bishops Conferences of Oceania (FCBCO) in Fiji.
A report on the gathering and the group’s work has been published here: https://mediablog.catholic.org.au/church-in-oceania…/
