New! Data sheet Structural Reform Written by: Rafael Luciani and Converting Mentalities and Carlos Schickendantz (coord.) Size: 155 x 230 mm Challenges and Trials for a Synodal Church Format: Paperback Reforma de estructuras y conversión de mentalidades. Extent: 464 pages Retos y desafíos para una Iglesia sinodal Pastoral In the Church, the starting point for reform is a modern-day reading of the signs of our time in the light of the Gospel. We acknowledge the need for a synodal change at all levels in the life of the Church in response to the reigning theological/cultural model that has been unable to overcome a clerical and pyramidal culture. The outcry of victims and the demands of new emerging subjectivities call on us to rethink the power relationships and governance of an ecclesiastic institution in the light of a profound change in its mode of action. This transformation will foster the renewal and emergence of new ministries, services and callings to spread the Gospel and serve justice and peace in our shared house.
