During the diocesan stage of the Universal Synod, people called for courses, resources, and dynamic spaces where they could explore or deepen their own faith, spirituality, and understanding of Scripture on a personal level. One initiative being made available in 2023 is this series of short video reflections on the Sunday Gospel each week. Watch out for a new video every Thursday, which will have the Synodal Sunday video reflection for the upcoming Sunday. Please feel free to share these videos as widely as possible - on your websites, your social media platforms, and with others on your networks.
