Continental Synodal Assembly of the Churches of Africa from 1 to 6 March 2023 in Addis Ababa, EthiopiaThe broad-based consultation of the People of God around the world has officially finished its"continental stage," consisting of a time of listening, dialogue, and discernment among the Churches of the same geographical area. This process came after the"Local Stage" of diocesan and national meetings.
Various levels of Church involvement assisted the process, following the principle of subsidiarity. Local organizing committees helped prepare and bring to fruition the continental assemblies with the onsite accompaniment and presence of heads of the Vatican's General Secretariat of the Synod or the General Rapporteur of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops. This presence has served as a sign of the closeness and desire of the Holy See to listen to the local Churches.
The General Secretariat of the Synod noted with satisfaction that participants in the various continental assemblies all found areas they could relate to in the document as well as paths forward for the Church, despite the wide-ranging ecclesial and cultural differences and diversity of perspectives.
The fruit of these discussions features in the Final Document that each Assembly produced and that will contribute to the work of the first session of the Synod of Bishops, which is set for 4-29 October 2023.The Synod General Secretariat in its statement noted how all the assemblies have marked a time of grace for the Church, reflecting a great desire for renewal by walking together in unity with Christ.
