Rationale 計劃緣起
Σύνοδοι: "companions on the journey"
(Ignatius of Antioch, “Letter to the Ephesian community”)
Without any doubt, Pope Francis is taking a radical approach to the nature of the Catholic Church and its mission at the beginning of the third millennium. He is a radical, but in the etymological sense of the word: radix (root). He is proposing to the third millennium Catholic Church a return to its original roots to emphasize its fundamental nature. The available preparatory document for the 2021-2023 synod we have been reflecting recalls what St. John Chrysostom said, that “Church and synod are synonymous,” meaning that both words refer to the same reality. It is the essence of the Church to be synodal, therefore, without synodality there is no Church, or it at least is severely handicapped.
Church and synod are synonymous because both refer to a group of people (ekklesia-church) called to walk together along a common path (synodos). The four gospels are the account done by 4 different authors of a common journey that started in Galilee and went all the way to Jerusalem… and then returned back to Galilea, and from there spread to the whole world; The Gospel was born along the road through the encounters with the disciples, the Pharisees, the demons, the sick, the pagan woman, the poor, the young rich man, the Samaritan woman at the well, the houses of Marta, Mary, Zacchaeus, the poor widow in the temple, the entry in Jerusalem… If we take out of the Gospel all that happened “on the way,” we will be left with a few out-of-context paragraphs.
The disciples and the first followers knew about the Kingdom, the Father, and everything else as they walked along with Jesus, listening to his stories. It is precisely “on the road and going forth” that we experience fellowship with Christ. Church is synonymous with walking together.
In this traveling towards Jerusalem, most of the time there is dialogue: Jesus asking, people answering and asking, Jesus answering, Jesus teaching, everyone chatting while sitting around tables for dinner, or at the feet of Jesus, or in the temple… always in dialogue. The Gospels are a practical guide to the dialogical process: “listening-discerning-realizing.” Church is synonymous to conversation.
Finally, the Gospels reflect a group of people where everyone is equal, where there is no “hierarchy” in the sense the world understands it, where everyone is welcomed without prejudices, where power means to serve, and the only thing to brag about is love: even to love your enemy. Church is synonymous to equality.
Synodality is nothing new, but it is radical because it brings us back to the source, to the road walked by Jesus, and invites us to recover the apostolic-journeying essence of our being Church, a Church that is charismatic and service-oriented, that is horizontal, mission-centered, and is one-minded because we are the body, and the Lord is the only head.
The “2021-2023 Synod on Synodality” aims to take the chisel and start cleaning up all the “lime scale” that through time has covered the original nature of the Church to the point that after 2,000 years, even the opposite traits have become for many the nature of the Church: self-centered, fixed, silently obedient, and powerfully hierarchical.
Synodality never disappeared in the Church and Vatican II is a proof of it. Fu Jen Faculty of Theology of St. Robert Bellarmine and Verbiest Association want to support this call of Pope Francis to return to our true nature as a Church going forth that journeys together. We hope that this “4th Workshop on the Spirituality of Dialogue: For a Synodal Church: COMMUNION, PARTICIPATION AND MISSION” can be one more conversation to reflect on and actively join the dialogue: What does “a synodal Church” mean for you, for me, for Taiwan, and for the world in this third millennium?
同道偕行：教會共融、共同使命、旅途中的同伴
方濟各教宗呼籲我們「同道偕行：以共融、參與及使命來體現共議性的教會」。人們一聽到「共議」一詞，可能就覺得很陌生，這新詞到底有何種新意呢？雖然教宗的確期盼教會的更新，但「共議」並不是新的用詞，而是根本，因為它將我們帶回起始點、回到耶穌走過的道路，並邀請我們回歸教會使徒之旅的本質，即教會是蒙受恩寵的、以服務為導向、以使命為中心、彼此平行、萬眾一心，因我們是以基督為首的同一身體。
教會的共融本來在集會及會議中展現。教會與共融會議都意指一群人蒙召沿著共同的道路行走。福音記述初期教會的共同旅程：門徒先跟隨耶穌三年，該旅程始於加里肋亞，一路前往耶路撒冷，並從此傳播到全世界。在路途上，門徒們與主耶穌的召喚及教導相遇。他們與耶穌同行，親自見到法利賽人、惡魔、病人、外邦婦女、窮人、年輕的富人、井邊的撒瑪黎亞婦人、聖殿裡的窮寡婦、瑪爾大、瑪利亞、匝凱等人，如何與耶穌相處。整個的福音都是在路途上發生的；教會就是在這條道路上誕生的。
2021-2023年主教會議的準備文件，確實回應了金口．聖若望所言:「教會和共議是同義詞」，表示這兩個用詞指的是同樣的現實。教會的本質就是共議，因此，若缺乏「共議」，教會便幾乎無法成立。
門徒們和耶穌同行，在路上聆聽祂所講述的比喻故事，認識天主為父，認出天國為福。正是「在道路上前行」時，我們經歷與耶穌基督的相會。同道偕行是教會的同義詞。
在前往耶路撒冷的旅程中，對話佔據了大部分的時間：耶穌問、人們回答和詢問、耶穌回答、耶穌教導、晚餐時每個人圍坐在餐桌旁聊天、或在耶穌腳前、或在聖殿裡……總是在交談。福音是對話過程的實用指南：「聆聽─辨別─實現」。對話交談是教會的同義詞。
福音反應人人平等，沒有世人所認知的「階級」，每個人都受到歡迎。按照聖言的啟示，權力的表現是服務，且唯一值得推崇的是「愛」，甚至愛你的敵人。平等是教會的同義詞。
世界主教代表會議於2021年至2023年，以「共議」為主題，以教會的更新為目的。教宗邀請大家參加此過程，努力回歸教會的原始本質，試圖克服自我中心、固執己見、被動服從和強烈階級制度等相反特徵，以免隱藏了教會的真正特質。
「共議」不曾從教會消失，梵二大公會議就是證明。輔仁聖博敏神學院與中華南懷仁文化交流協會希望支持教宗方濟各的呼籲，回歸同道偕行的教會之真實本質。我們希望此次〈第四屆對話靈修工作坊：以共融、參與及使命來體現共議性的教會〉可以再次彼此交談、積極參與對話並反思：在第三千年，「共議性的教會」對於你、我、台灣和世界的意義為何？
