The shared mission
of the faithful
April to June 2024
2024/2
This issue of Ekklesía traces the path from the Second Vatican Council to the current synodal process; questioning the specific contribution of lay charisms; focusing on the understanding of the Christian priesthood in the light of the New Testament message and the first centuries of the Church; documenting good practices taking place; and what happens when all the baptized, men and women, lay people, priests and consecrated persons, experience together in carrying out this mission, beginning with the building of the Christian community and broadening out to social and cultural realities.

Pathways to communion
and dialogue
Ekklesía is a print and digital initiative available in various languages. It conveys and promotes the complementarity of the Church's charismatic and ministerial dimensions in the light of the teachings of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council.
​
​
Guided by the principle of universal brotherhood, readers are invited to journey and work together along paths of communion and dialogue. In this way, Ekklesía hopes to contribute to building a synodal reality in which all members of God’s people are valued in the common search for new ways to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus to men and women of our time.
Ekklesía’s articles focus on Church and societal renewal; relationships among different Churches and religions; encounters between diverse peoples and cultures; and dialogue with persons of differing convictions or of no particular religious belief.
Each quarterly issue focuses on a particular and relevant theme.
