At the two-day meeting, November 21 and 22, the council worked on proposed amendments to the preparatory document that has been drafted by the office of the Synod of Bishops. The document—which includes a questionaire—will be circulated among the world’s bishops for their comments before being molded into the working document for the Synod sessions.
