Parallel Title:
Synodality : the ethos of ecclesial freedom. Contemporary theological approaches
Abstract:
Synodality belongs into the center of the orthodox view of the Church. The conciliar life of the Church arises from its essential synodality and eucharistie life. Ecumenical councils are not a constant and permanent ecclesial institution or a mechanism, but a charismatic event and an ad hoc assembly of diocesan bishops to face concrete problems of the ecclesial life and current dangers for Christian faith. The ecumenicity of such a great council is a matter of reception by the conscience of the Church in an open process of ratification and incorporation of its decisions in the life of the Church. Ecclesia is not a gathering of faithful individuals, but a communion of persons, i.e. the place and the way of experienced common freedom.
