A research project on the theme of the presbyterate is halfway through its trajectory, addressing themes of revelation, symbolism, ecclesiology, seminary formation and gender. You are invited to an open panel discussion with some of its contributors. It aims to provide an insight into an upcoming publication focussing on the anniversary of the two Vatican documents on the presbyterate: Presbyterorum ordinis and Optatam totius titled Theologies of Priesthood for the 21st Century: Experience, History, Synodality. It will also seek to frame the last two broad themes of their work: seminary formation and gender. As this is a conversation concerning the whole church, the invitation is for all the baptised.
