DESCRIPTION:<a href="https://cebitepal.celam.org/event/power-and-synodality
 -in-portuguese-30">Power and Synodality (in Portuguese)</a>\nPoder e sinod
 alidade (em português) Course Description The course is centered on the r
 eflection about the exercise of power and its impacts on the processes of 
 constituting a new eclesiology\, based on ecclesial relationships in light
  of Synodality. The call of Pope Francis for a Synodal Church is not merel
 y an invitation to administrative reorganization\, but a call to structura
 l and existential conversion. At the heart of this process lies the need t
 o revisit how power is understood\, distributed\, and exercised in the ecc
 lesial body. The synodality requires that the Church cease to be seen as a
  strictly pyramidal structure to become a polyhedron of charisms\, where a
 uthority does not override baptismal dignity\, but serves it. The linkage 
 between Power and Synodality is the turning point for any real advancement
 . There is no synodality without a reevaluation of power dynamics. Power\,
  when understood only as command and control (clericalism)\, acts as a for
 ce of resistance\, smothering listening and marginalizing communal discern
 ment. On the other hand\, when power is reclaimed in its evangelical root 
 as exousia (authority that gives life and serves)\, it becomes the engine 
 of synodalization. Course Professor Alzirinha Rocha de Souza. Teóloga bra
