Two leading faith-based African women leaders outline what African women expect from the forthcoming synod on synodality. Ugandan, Sr Rosemary Nyirumbe often dubbed 'the African Mother Teresa' and African biblical scholar, Prof Caroline Mbonu, outline some of the key issues that African women should be bringing to the synodal halls including participation of women in mainstream leadership in the church, creating more opportunities for women in the church and society, women education, violence against women, advancing the rights of women in society, and listening to the voices of women and respecting their agency among other issue. Both are hopeful of a good outcome from this synod because the Holy Spirit is at work in the current effort to renew and revive the church through this synodal process.
