Yesterday,
I
attended
my
first
Archdiocesan
board
meeting
as a
member
of the
Capital
Asset
Support
Corporation
(CASC).
Being
the
neophyte
of the
group,
I was
asked
to
lead
the
Opening
Prayer.
Then
suddenly,
I was
elected
as the
new
Vice-President
of
this
board
that I
am
just
learning
about.
So,
help
me
God!

Synod
2021
thru

|
|
What
is a
synod?
|
A
synod is a
council of the
Church, usually
convened to
decide an issue
of doctrine,
administration
or application.
The word synod
is from the
Greek sinodos
(s???d??)
meaning
assembly
or
meeting
and is similar
to the Latin
concilium
meaning
council.
Sometimes the
phrase
general
synod or
general
council
refers to an
ecumenical
council, like
the Second
Vatican Council
(1962-1965).
