Continental Stage Working Document

October 2022 - Continental Stage Working Document

The Continental Stage consists of a time of listening and discernment of all of the People of God and of all local Churches on a continental basis, leading to a series of continental assemblies. The Continental Stage document  titled “Enlarge the Space of Your Tent” —the Lord’s command to the people of Israel in the Book of Isaiah — will assist the reflection on what has emerged from the consultation of the People of God in the local Churches around the world.

The 7 continental documents will be sent, no later than March 31st, to the General Secretariat of the Synod and will form the basis of the Instrumentum Laboris.

The conclusion of the continental stage does not mean the conclusion of the synodal process of the People of God that began with the consultation of the local phase. Our journeying together can thus become the foundation for how we participate in Church as the whole of the People of God.
