International Ecumenical Conference on canonical practices on synodality "From Listening to Practice".

Building on the two Angelicum symposia ‘Listening to the East’ and ‘Listening to the West’ (2022–2023), and in light of the Catholic Synod on Synodality (2021–2024), the conference aims to reflect ecumenically on the canonical implications of synodal ecclesiology, with a view to Christian unity. The programme will consider the various synodal institutions at all levels of the Church, as well as synodal decision-making processes in both the Eastern and Western canonical traditions.

The conference is co-organized by the Œcumenicum – Institute for Ecumenical Studies and the Faculty of Canon Law of the Angelicum.

The conference will be streamed on the Angelicum's YouTube channel.

John Stayne, post-doctoral fellow of the Institute for Ecumenical Studies participated in the inaugural meeting of the national Catholic–Pentecostal dialogue, which was held on March 31 at Eccleston Square (UK) with the presence of Catholic and Pentecostal theologians and church leaders.

This dialogue is sponsored by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales and the Pentecostal and Charismatic Forum.

Pentecostals and Catholics have had a long and unique relationship, especially after the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, and the long-running official international Catholic–Pentecostal dialogue. This encounter has entered a new stage with the presence of a Pentecostal observer at the Synod on Synodality and the focus of the study group on Christian unity on the need to better understand Pentecostal and charismatic churches through new national dialogues.
