Pope Francis describes our current time as a profound shift in era. In Ireland, the Church faces significant changes that might tempt us to retreat into a false conservatism, mistaking fear-driven adherence to old habits as tradition. This inward response stifles discernment of God’s will. ""Dreaming a New Dream"" addresses these challenges directly, offering 15 accessible conversations to inform and challenge readers. Designed for parish and diocesan leaders, it promotes synodality—a journey of mutual engagement and listening. Each conversation concludes with questions to deepen individual or group reflection, shaping a church for the future through open dialogue and prayerful discernment.
