In his fascinating introduction, Christopher Lamb, Rome correspondent for The Tablet (UK) provides a journalistic review of the lead-up to the Synod, an account of what transpired, and an analysis of the controversies at play. Cardinal Michael Czerny, S.J., Co-Special Secretary of the Pan-Amazon Synod, provides an authoritative commentary on Querida Amazonia and the Final Document, addressing their particular meaning for the Amazon region and their relevance for the church as a whole. Just as the Amazon’s unique environment plays a vital role in the health of the planet, so a church with an Amazonian face calls the wider church to conversion, and to the renewal that comes from the periphery.
