경청과 대화를 위한 가톨릭 교육 모델과 적용 가능성: 한국과 독일의 시노드 교육 교재 분석을 중심으로

Abstract

The 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, which opened in October 2021, called for a special procedure that had never been used before. This is a parish synod meeting at the diocesan level. This meeting is designed for laymen, religious, and clergy to listen, dialog, and discern each other's voices in the Holy Spirit. The Korean Catholic Church evaluated this listening meeting as ‘a place to gain joy by listening and reflecting together on the challenges facing the church community.’ The purpose of this study is to find educational ways to continue this listening meeting even after the synod is over. First, we compared and analyzed educational materials for listening meetings published by the Catholic Pastoral Institute of Korea, the Archdiocese of Seoul, and the Diocese of Uijeongbu. In addition, the synod education of the German Catholic Church was introduced as an example of education for listening and dialog. In other words, the contents of the textbook 『tRU17: Synodal Path』 published by the Institute for Religious Education of the Archdiocese of Freiburg were closely analyzed. As a result, it was suggested that education for listening and dialog should begin with reflection on what to listen to and dialog beyond the methodology for listening and dialog.
