Featured titles

Changing to be Faithful: Renewing the Church through Synodality

Fr Eamonn Conway explores decision-making and formation in a synodal style, with a pragmatic focus on the implications for the local Church. Turning the discussion around synodality on its head, he proposes that we change so that we remain faithful. Synodality, he argues, is what will hold us together, rather than drive us apart.

Bringing Ignatian spirituality into everyday living, this prayer book facilitates a deeper spiritual journey and a closer relationship with God.

Letters from the Heart: The Spiritual Practice of Letter-writing
