The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) and the Religious Formation Conference (RFC) are collaborating to offer a six-session online Synodal Leadership Formation Course. The 1/13 session is an open discussion regarding ways participants have implemented some or all of the curriculum and/or ways they are furthering synodality in their life and mission.
In 2023-2024, LCWR was one of four leadership organizations that worked together under a Porticus grant to create a curriculum that promotes synodality understanding and skills. The six-module curriculum was developed and refined by these leadership groups who collectively serve women religious, clergy, and lay leaders in parishes. RFC is one of several organizations that participated in an LCWR pilot experience to sample and improve this curriculum while in its development phase.
