"I Got Synod-Pilled!"

Last week, Eve published a piece at ARC Magazine. Our experience founding and growing Building Catholic Futures includes a lot of collaboration with a lot of Catholic leaders with a lot of widely divergent opinions. And it's working!

Here's a teaser...

But the synod on synodality closed in November, and I’m surprised to find my position completely changed. I dug it! Synodality is good, and we should do more of it! I have, in fact, learned something from this goofily-named gathering of the God guys. (And not just God guys, but God ladies: This was the first Catholic Synod of Bishops in which women were invited to vote.)

Three things changed my mind. All are related to my experience starting an organization during the Synod: Building Catholic Futures, a nonprofit equipping Catholic institutions to evangelize and catechize (in lay terms, “serve and share the Gospel with”) LGBT+ people.

Your Prayer Requests

Please keep Building Catholic Futures in your prayers, that as synodality percolates through the Church, we are all inspired to listen, to respond, and to act for the salvation of souls.
