SYNODALITY:
 "Electing Bishops and Lay Leaders"

Dr Avril Baigent speaks about Synodality, Dr Martin Schockenhoff talks about the situation regarding the election of Bishops in Germany and Dr Harald Prinz tells us about being a lay leader of two parishes in Austria.

We Are Church at the 2025 Asian Youth Academy /Asian Theology Forum in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Martin Schockenhoff from Wir Sind Kirche, Germany, is representing We Are Church at this year's forum.  He is pictured with friends from past years. 

"As a relevant spiritual formation project for young activists, the AYA/ATF places much emphasis on their religious identity amid the all-things-mixed global world. It also aims to make them what Pope Francis calls “missionary disciples” armed with strong Christian identity with socio-political awareness, socio-cultural analysis and spiritualty."

The emphasis at this year's forum is on:

  • "Asian Christianity’s Critical Approach to COP 30,
  • UN-led SDGs
  • Religious Nationalism from the View of Peoples Caught in a Desperate Situation in Asia"

"We are all ONE Sacred Community, of equals sharing Life in Christ. 
We desire that this equality be a hallmark of our Church."

Eucharist - Thanksgiving

For several decades many in the We Are Church movement have met regularly to celebrate the Eucharist together in our homes and at other gatherings. The arrival of the Covid pandemic led to a switch early in 2020 to holding these Eucharists online using ZOOM.

Celebrating ZOOM Eucharists has brought We Are Church closer together as a movement.

We have gathered some of the texts we have used for these Eucharists which we hope may encourage others to organise a house Eucharist or ZOOM Eucharist with a group of friends.
