The synod process is opening up discussion about the role of female leadership in the Church.

In this episode, Christopher Lamb discusses what shape these roles could take, the position of women in early Christianity and why a “synodal” Church is a more inclusive one.

To find out more, he speaks to Professor Phyllis Zagano, who served on Pope Francis’ commission looking at female deacons, Nicola Brady, who has been tasked by the Irish bishops to lead their national synod and Susan Pascoe, an adviser to the Vatican and expert in church governance.
