I warmly andhappily welcome you to this Continental Assembly of the Synod on Synodality. I welcome you to Addis Ababa, the political capital of Africa (headquarter of the African Union). Welcome to Ethiopia, a historic and biblical country and cradle of inculturated Christianity.
We are here to celebrate together the continental phase of this ongoing Synod on Synodality, which in the words of Pope Francis is a “journey together, in order to experience a Church that receives and lives the gift of unity, and is open to the voice of the spirit” (Address of His Holiness Pope Francis for the Opening of the Synod, 9 Oct. 2021).We have come from all over Africa and beyond.
