The fall plenary assembly, which was attended by Most Reverend J. Mark Spalding, Bishop of Nashville, saw a range of topics discussed
‘We are Knights to our Cor’
‘For the Church’s vocation is to proclaim the Gospel not by focusing on itself, but by placing itself at the service of the infinite love with which God loved the world’
‘We’re recognizing that we need to be concerned about each other, and with each other, and recognizing everyone has gifts’
‘The world is once again shocked and horrified by the outbreak of ferocious violence in the Holy Land’
‘Synodality does not mean expressing personal opinions, but walking together’
‘Sometimes … you just never had the chance to process it and to let yourself acknowledge that it was OK to grieve’
‘These ministries have the opportunity to preach the Gospel in a way that does not even require quoting Scripture’
‘I hope that all the churches listen more to the laity, that they trust in their zeal for the Church and their competence to serve her and that they respect and listen to them’
‘What would Jesus do if He were us?’
Nashville seminarian David Lee among the ordained
‘It’s been an issue that causes a lot of stress and strain for people who are lacking any security about what’s going to happen with their futures’
