World Synod of Bishops on the Bible
I don’t know much about this yet (haven’t had the time to read up on it with all of the other busyness in my life), but it sounds pretty interesting and important. Next month, there will be a World Synod of Bishops in Rome, and the topic under discussion is: The Bible! Well, more specifically, “The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church.” The last World Synod of Bishops was held in 2005 to focus on the Eucharist, so these Synods are a pretty big deal. Catholic News Service has a lot of info related to the synod which may (or may not) be helpful to those interested. The web address is http://www.catholicnews.com/biblesynod/ . Also, the Vatican instruction for the Synod can be found here. Check these out in your free time… and I will, too, once I crawl out from under this mound of homework that is burying me right now!
As we all know at AI, the Word of God must be central to all that we do and all that we are as children of God and ministers of the Body of Christ.

Also, the USCCB put stuff up on their website about the bishops, etc. who are appointed to go: http://www.usccb.org/synod/
