Synodal style for community meetings!  Melbourne Community

In two years we have had very few community meetings in Melbourne so, gathering in Blackburn last week was a joy.

We had an agenda: safeguarding issues, aged care questions.

We met more informally, young, middle and old, different cultural backgrounds, variety of ministries, students..  And Bob Irwin who has been in Victoria, Monivae, for half the year.

Easy voicing of opinions, suggestions, good listening and discerning, plans emerging.

And, the important aspect of synodality, shared eating and drinking.
