Beschreibung
In Bruges, theologians, historians, canonists and members of several
Christian denominations discussed the problems of synodality within
various traditions and tried to assess the significance of the synodal
experience in various denominations. The interdisciplinary and
interconfessional approach helped draw a rich and diversified picture,
which makes it possible to look concurrently at the churches’ past and
present. By paying attention to the central and peripheral aspects, the
dimension of theological reflection invariably intersected the dimension
of normative production and the historical reconstruction of a few
meaningful test cases.
