CHURCH: Middle East Synod Reports

Reports from the Middle East Synod

Fr. Maximos from Holy Resurrection Monastery points to a great resource entitled 'Index of stories from Synod of Bishops on the Middle East,' which catalogues all the stories from the synod updated daily.
I would also like to point to Fr. Hunwicke's Liturgical Notes for an editorial on some of the demands made by synod representatives.


(HRM) - The best reporting I've seen on the current Synod of Bishops on the Middle East is, here. John Allen really does seem able to distill many of the most important issues. He made the point that this is the first time in modern times that a Synod of Bishops of the Catholic Church comprises a majority of voting members from the Eastern Churches. I'll be throwing in my two cents over the next few days . . .
