I've always understood the word church to mean more of a community rather than an institution, building, or hierarchy. Granted, all these have to do with the church, but church to me is the whole enchilada.

A lot of what I understand about synodality makes good basic sense, but a lot of it leaves me scratching my head. Mainly because the way it is being rolled out is confusing and lacking of guidance. Synodality is largely a process or way of facilitating a meeting. And it makes good sense. The part I don't get yet is the actual, final decision making.

You'd hope that the shepherds actually do have the needed training and formation as I hear it called. I keep listening. It's a curious thing. 🤔
