African Synodal Theology: A Tall Tree Is as Strong as Its Roots - Paperback

by Agbonkhianmeghe E. Orobator (Author)

"Synodality" means "journey together" and for the late Pope Francis synodality expresses "the Church's nature, her form, style, and mission." Yet, even several years into the synodal journey, it remains an ecclesiology in need of a theology. Here, many of Africa's leading Catholic theologians respond to that need, clarifying and deepening the understanding, knowledge, and practice of synodality in the local churches.
