Article

  • Synodality in Anglicanism: episcopacy, clergy, laity

  • Stephen Coleman
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    26 May 2025, pp. 235-243

  • Articles in this issue of the Journal have considered the various levels of church government at the universal, the regional, the local (diocesan), and the parochial levels. The mechanical operations of each synodical body has been considered, with notions of subsidiarity, authority and participation key. This article takes a step back and looks at the classes of individuals concerned in ecclesial life: bishops, (other) clergy, and laity, and considers how they participate in synodical ecclesial life by virtue of either purely their ecclesial life (as a bishop, a priest or deacon, or as a member of the laity), or through the role they exercise/office they hold as a member of that ecclesial class.

Article

  • Catholic synodality: episcopacy, clergy, laity

  • Benjamin Earl
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    26 May 2025, pp. 244-253

  • Other articles in this issue of the Journal have examined different levels of government, whether in the Catholic Church or in the Anglican Communion, and presented the notion and practice of synodality at that level of the institution in question. This article takes a different methodological approach by examining the various categories of the faithful, and discusses their different roles in the processes and structures provided for in Roman Catholic canon law that might be called ‘synodal’.
