Nairobi, 11 October, 2023 / 9:26 pm (ACI Africa).
The ongoing Synod on Synodality conversations are providing “good moments of sharing” and mutual understanding, an African Catholic Archbishop participating in the October 4-29 Synod has said.
In a video recording shared on WhatsApp on Tuesday, October 10, Archbishop Anthony Muheria, one of the two representatives of the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) at the Bishops’ meeting in Rome, acknowledges with appreciation the mutual benefits from the diversity of the Synod delegates.
“We are going through a good moment. The good thing is the diversity we have seen from the Bishops and people from all over, the good moments of sharing, understanding different contexts, hearing the challenges of various places, as well as gifts that we have mutually,” Archbishop Muheria says about the meeting of over 400 delegates of the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops.
He describes the ongoing Synod as “a very good learning process” and adds, “At the same time, it is a good opportunity as we listen to one another, as we listen to the Holy Spirit, to see how we can bring this into our homes.”
“This has been a very good opportunity and is a challenge for all of us in our various jurisdictions and places of origin,” the Kenyan Catholic Archbishop says about the meeting that started on October 4, with October 5 as the first full day of work.
