VERY USEFUL BACKGROUND TO THE OCEANIAN SYNOD

My thanks to Fr. Jun, presently in Rome, for sending the following item (attached as a Word file), a background briefing on the Oceanian Synod by Archbishop Barry Hickey. For those who are following the Synod with interest, this briefing presents the 'big picture' and the various problems and possibilities that the Synod must face.
