Delegates from Catholic Churches across the Middle East have gathered in Lebanon for the region’s Continental Synodal Assembly.
In a brief interview, Archbishop Battah stressed the importance of synodality to the life of the Church, but cautioned that instability in the Middle East makes it difficult to live it out in practice.Addressing his fellow bishops, Archbishop Battah called on them to embrace a synodal approach. There is a long and rich history of synodality in the Christian East. Archbishop Battah had particular praise for the women's synod in the Maronite Church and the youth synod of his own Syriac Catholic Church, which, he said, meets regularly, and recently managed to bring together “all the young people from our Church in Syria.”
Referring to crises such as the deteriorating economic situation in Syria and Lebanon, and the exodus of young people from many countries in the region, he said, “Before we can participate, before we can walk together, we need to feel secure.”Also present at the Continental Assembly was Maryse Saghbini. A professor of Theology at Université Saint Joseph in Beirut, she also works with the Greek Melkite Archeparchy of Saïda.
