In recent years the image of a Catholic Church needing renewal has deepened in the German
public arena. The Synodal Path identified structural aspects underlying the ecclesial crisis
and proposed solutions debating issues such as clerical power sexuality participation and
the role of women. Considering the importance of these deliberations for the universal Church
and their controversial international discussion the need for intercultural dialogue became
increasingly clear. The empirical project Synodal Way - Global Church Perspectives aimed to
weave the polyphony of Global-Church perspectives into the debate. This volume presents the
research's results and their analysis by academics from different world regions fills a gap in
intercultural mediation and offers an inspiring contribution to the ongoing synodal dialogue
