Synod of the Children in Tunja - Colombia |

Aware that the second stage of the Diocesan Project concluded with a synod to celebrate the faith of the People of God, the Archbishop proposed that a first part of the Synod, to be held between 2004-2006, would be of a more “pastoral and normative” nature. This was the opportunity for the new generation of priests and laity to deepen their understanding of the essential elements of the Diocesan Project, in conjunction with the normal second phase of the journey. At the end of this synodal journey, the Archbishop thought it opportune to have a synodal process with the children. Besides interesting them in the diocesan process, this gave them to chance to participate in offering ideas for the pastoral care of children. It is hoped that through this experience they will become protagonists in their own pastoral process and feel that they are active participants in the journey of the Archdiocese. As a token of affection we called it the “Sinodito” or “Little Synod”.
