Throughout this month, Cardinal Stephen Chow, SJ, has been actively participating in the Second Session of the Synod on Synodality. In this interview, he discusses his hopes for the Synod, emphasising the need for an outcome that will contribute towards everyone – clergy, religious and laypeople alike – walking on the path together. This inclusive approach, he says, will be helped by real life experiences, discernment and reflection.
Reflecting on synodality, Cardinal Chow highlights the value of harmony, which he distinguishes from uniformity. He notes that respecting unity in plurality, while maintaining harmony is crucial for regions like Hong Kong where he is the Bishop, and on the Asian continent in general.
Watch the video to know what he thinks about the Synod as the final document is to come out soon.
