The Indian Catholic Forum, a collective of Catho-lics in the country, plans to meet next year to seek the Church’s reform and renewal.
The February 5-6, 2022, program in Bengaluru, known as the Vatican of India, will stress sharing, praying, listening and dialoguing. The two-day deliberations would be recorded and synthesized, says a press note from the forum convener Kanpur-based chho-tebhai.
The meet on “Journeying Together – the Path Ahead” is expected to come up with a 10-page synthesis that would be sent to the Vatican by April 2022, it adds.
The program, the press note says, will have no chief guests, ceremonials or keynote speakers in the spirit of the Synod. “Jesus will be the chief guest and every participant will be a guest of honor,” the press note says.
Pope Francis has called the Synod during 2022-2023.
