Event: Untapping what is already possible

Leadership of women and laymen for a Synodal Church

Register

The UISG, in collaboration with WUCWO (World Union of Catholic Women’s Organisations), invites you to an event of reflection and dialogue on shared leadership within today’s Church. In the Final Synod Document, #60 asks for “full implementation of all the opportunities already provided for in Canon Law with regard to the role of women, particularly in those places where they remain underutilized. There is no reason or impediment that should prevent women from carrying out leadership roles in the Church. What comes from the Holy Spirit cannot be stopped.”
