Theologian Fr Dr Clarence Devadass from the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur, and Anna Teresa Peter Amandus from the Diocese of Sandakan, are the two delegates from Malaysia who have been personally selected by Pope Francis as Voting Members at the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops.
Being able to see the fruition of their synodal journey in Bangkok unfold in Rome as voting members from the continental assemblies will certainly be a grace-filled experience for the both of them. “I will carry the Asian and Malaysian conversations we have had, but I also want to hear what the others have to say,” said the Chancellor of the Archdiocese, while expressing hope that the attendees will respect the synod as a sacred space so that everyone can speak freely and listen openly to one another while keeping the growth of the Church at the core.
“The challenge is for us to understand that this is a process that we need to trust. We need to trust the Holy Spirit and we need to trust God, otherwise we will be disappointed if our views and concerns are not brought up or addressed. “The decision made by the Holy Father to include women, emphasises his vision for the lay faithful taking on a greater role in Church affairs that have long been left to clerics, bishops and cardinals. I am certain that this Synod of Bishops will be “enriched” by representatives of the whole Church.
