The publication of the ESCT (European Society for Catholic Theology) with the title “Synodality in Europe” reflects on the synodal process in Europe and challenges of theological work in view of the learning process to become a “synodal church”. The different articles lay theological foundations of synodality, they present regional and world church perspectives, they show tensions and processes of pluralisation which are understood as a “laboratory” of synodality related to the liberating and healing Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Most of the authors are members of different sections of ESCT (in Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, Portugal, Slovakia and Spain). Integrated are also a protestant and two world-church contributions.
