Winnipeg Free Press features ‘Journey of Encounter’
Journey of encounter takes its inspiration from the words of Pope Francis, when he issued his final report to the concluding session of the three-year-long Synod on Synodality in Rome last fall.
“Pope Francis’s final words to that Synod on Synodality are our beginning,” said Garry Warner, chair of the CLC and one of the lay synod’s organizers.
Gary Warner was interviewed by John Longhurst at the Winnipeg Free Press about Journey of Encounter - you can read the entire inteview on the Winnipeg Free Press website (link below)
One small footnote: the article refers to Journey of Encounter as a Lay Synod. Although laity are playing a key role in organizing Journey of Encounter, this is not exclusively a “lay” synod. The Synodal gathering is for everyone – clergy, religious and laity.
