“Conversations by the Well: A Lesson on Synodality” by Aldo Miguel Constantino M. Bonifacio delves into what he calls the “healing agenda of the Synod on Synodality” and calls our attention to how the ongoing synodal process is actually promoting no less than a paradigm shift within the Church. Anchoring his reflection on the Johannine story of the Samaritan Woman who encountered Jesus by the well, he draws lessons on how the Church today can come to terms with her own sinfulness and “unbelonging” so as to receive the healing she needs to become her true synodal self. At the same time, there is a parallel invitation to imitate Jesus in dealing with “others” with a welcoming attitude that allays fear, encourages self-disclosure, and opens the way to encounter and dialogue.
