The School for Synodality exists to help support the synodal conversion of the Church in England and Wales in our day-to-day practice.
Through conversations, the development of resources, webinars and parish and innovation programmes, it hopes to enable openness to the Holy Spirit in the Church through listening, sharing and discernment.
During the pandemic, Pope Francis presented us with a new image of Church, that no matter who we were, we were together in the same boat. The worldwide synod process came out of that desire to engage with our changing world and with those on the margins to regain a renewed sense of purpose and mission.
The School for Synodality, a partnership between the Diocese of Northampton and Synod Fruits, aims to help the Church regain this sense of purpose and mission and build on the ways parishes and dioceses have engaged in experiences of encounter through the synod process so far. 
Its resources aim to support the Church, embedding new synodal habits and practices, especially in how it approaches decisions, spiritual conversations and prayerful discernment in meetings.
The project is also launching two 15-month programmes, one for parishes wanting to take the next steps in responding to their synodal listening and the other for leaders creating new pastoral ventures that will support our parishes’ synodal conversion.
A webinar series from October to November will look at developing synodal practice at a local level.
