In under a decade, 'synodality' has emerged as a key theme in Catholicism, particularly in redefining the Church's identity as the People of God. Stemming from early church councils, it's now reshaping the Church's hierarchical structure into a communal pilgrimage. Pope Francis advocates this shift towards a synodal Church, emphasizing service over power. The implications of synodality are being explored in the 2023/24 synod in Rome, but its significance requires ongoing examination and engagement from all corners of the Catholic Church. Reflecting this, the Catholic Theological Association of Great Britain offers succinct essays to aid collective exploration and renewal.

Thomas O’Loughlin is a writer, historian and theologian. He has taught and written extensively on different practices and interpretations of Eucharistic celebration leading to inter-church disagreement. He is involved in ecumenical reflections on eucharistic activity and has explored whether a richer understanding of the nature of worship could overcome inherited misunderstandings and divisions among Christians.  Beáta Tóth has a PhD in English Literature as well as a Doctoral Degree in Theology (both from the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium). She is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Systematic Theology at Sapientia College of Theology, Budapest. Her fields of interest include the theological anthropology of the heart, the contemporary debate concerning the theology of love and emotionality, the Trinitarian thought of Saint Augustine of Hippo and the interface between theology and literature. Since 2012 she has been editor of Sapientiana, a journal of theology, philosophy and religious life.
