How was I to bring my own questions and be respectfully present as a guest while being fully Mennonite?\u201d Anne-Cathy Graber asked these questions as she received an invitation to attend the Vatican\u2019s Sixteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod in October 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having taken the role of MWC Secretary for Ecumenical Relations for MWC in 2023, Anne-Cathy Graber represented Mennonite World Conference at the month-long event, which had 16 \u201cfraternal delegates\u201d representing other Christian churches and communities, 8 Protestant and 8 Orthodox.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anne-Cathy Graber is an itinerant Mennonite pastor and theologian and co-director of the Chair of Ecumenical Theology at the Faculties Loyola Paris. She serves on MWC\u2019s Faith &amp; Life Commission. Additionally, she has represented Anabaptists at the Global Christian Forum Committee, in the Faith &amp; Order Commission of the World Council of Churches (2014-2022), in the bilateral dialogue between MWC and the Reformed Church. She is also a consecrated sister in Chemin Neuf, a Catholic community with an ecumenical vocation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subject was \u201csynodality\u201d which is not the word we use in anabaptist churches, Anne-Cathy Graber says, \u201cbut the reality is really inside our churches.\u201d MWC often uses another not-so-accessible theological word, <em>koinonia.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equality and dignity&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was astonished that MWC was invited,\u201d she says, because MWC is such a small church in the scope of other communions. \u201cIt says something about the place of minorities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIn Christ, we are the same body, we are equal.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The welcome extended to the fraternal delegates was a sign of trust, says Anne-Cathy Graber, because the fraternal delegates \u201clistened to each word; sometimes we were witnesses to differences between bishops.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a further sign of equality and dignity, fraternal delegates had the same opportunity to speak as a cardinal or bishop. \u201cIt was possible \u2013 in fact, they expected \u2013 that I could ask my own questions, voice my hesitations and share my own surprises.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutual listening and testimony sharing were key throughout the process.\u201d We could listen to the difficulty of the others,\u201d she says. Particularly as the leaders from the Middle East spoke, \u201cwe share their suffering. I am very far from their liturgy, but we were very close in Christ.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process was demanding and it took a lot of time, but it allowed for many steps for these conversations in the Spirit, she says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conversion is needed&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants wrestled with a question that MWC also struggles with: \u201cHow can we avoid a unity that is uniformity, but instead live out a unity that integrates difference?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An answer that was received and repeated is that \u201cit isn\u2019t possible to live synodality without conversion,\u201d says Anne-Cathy Graber. \u201cOur logic, our ways of doing, and our ways of reflecting must undergo a conversion.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The synod was prefaced by two days of silent retreat. In this period of penitential prayer, \u201cWe begged for forgiveness for sins against women, against creation, against migrants. It set the tone of a church that hears the calls of the world and admits its own failings.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the month of gathering, the synod produced a magisterial text about synodality. In yet another courageous move, the fraternal delegates were invited to propose amendments.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will take time for the document to be received in practice around the world. \u201cIt is necessary,\u201d says Anne-Cathy Graber. \u201cWhen something is important, very fundamental, it takes time.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experience renewed her commitment to ecumenicity: \u201cit was like a parable: to really be the church, we need each other.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in this highly structured, formal process, \u201cI saw how the Holy Spirit can work in the institutional matters. We cannot stop the work of the Spirit.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/globalchristianforum.org\/ecumenism-as-ministry-during-covid-19-and-always-anne-cathy-graber-in-france\/\">Ecumenism as Ministry \u2013 Anne-Cathy Graber in France<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticannews.va\/en\/vatican-city\/news\/2024-10\/synodality-a-conversion-aimed-at-becoming-more-missionary.html\">Synodality: A conversion aimed at becoming more missionary<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:200\" class=\"taxonomy-post_tag has-link-color wp-elements-c156640d9bee56933ae7a5b97a71238b wp-block-post-terms has-text-color has-gray-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/catholic\/\" rel=\"tag\">Catholic<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/ecumenism\/\" rel=\"tag\">ecumenism<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/faith-life-commission\/\" rel=\"tag\">Faith &amp; Life Commission<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/theology\/\" rel=\"tag\">theology<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/unity\/\" rel=\"tag\">unity<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt was necessary to take courage: it\u2019s another world, another vocabulary, another way of thinking.
