Dr. Emily Jendzejec has published a thought-provoking article in the latest issue of the Journal of Catholic Social Thought. Her work, "'Protagonists of Transformation': Organizing within a Synodal Church," appears in a special edition focused on Organizing, Synodality and Catholic Social Thought and Practice. Through a case study of Discerning Deacons, an organization devoted to exploring the relationship between women and the diaconate in the Catholic Church, Dr. Jendzejec examines the intersection of grassroots organizing, synodal processes, and ecclesial discernment. Her analysis illuminates how the group's history, strategies, and theological underpinnings contribute to broader conversations about Catholic social teaching and participatory decision-making within the Church. By investigating Discerning Deacons' efforts to engage Catholics in the synodal process, Dr. Jendzejec offers valuable insights into the evolving practice of collective discernment in contemporary Catholicism.
