Synodality as Reality
not Theory
The labyrinth might be the best image for the synodal journey. A journey with more curves and twists than straight forward paths and solutions. Pope Francis is motivating the world-church to a process that will generate more synodal praxis in the Catholic communities around the globe. This attempt is attacked with many obstacles. This is the reason why we invite urgently to make your voice heard and to support Pope Francis in his radical attempt to work with the Holy Spirit in discernment regarding the Church.

Presentation #1
May 12th
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Description: Over five hundred years ago Roman Catholic missionaries set foot on Indian soil, a land where an extant Christian community which traced its ancestry to St. Thomas already lived. Jesuits were among the many missionary groups that would arrive in India from the 16th century forward, but some of the Jesuit approaches were unique and have had major enduring impacts on the course of Christianity in the subcontinent -- both Catholic and Protestant. Local forms of religiosity and popular devotions have also shaped the formation of the Christian community. The historical connection between Christianity and Colonialism remains a thorny issue the Indian Church has to contend with, even now, 75 years after Independence. This presentation will attempt to highlight some interesting chapters of Christian history in India in the last five centuries, the Jesuit legacy, and paint a colorful contemporary picture of Christianity in India.
Speaker Bio: Brent Howitt Otto is a Jesuit priest of the USA East Province, a PhD candidate in Modern Indian History at UC Berkeley, and a priest in residence at St. Agnes Church. His work focuses on the community of mixed race, the colonial Church and missionaries.
