SURPRISED BY HOPE: Further Meditations on Synodality is a collection of Radcliffe’s retreat talks along with post-synodal reflections which show us how to be a missionary synodal Church as we encounter with other cultures, in each other,  in silence, in prayer  and in conversation and mutual attention. In these reflections, he focuses on the encouter of the disciples with the Risen Lord in Saint John’s gospel to help us preparew four our encounter with the Lord, with other cultures and each other, in silence and in prayer, and in conversation and mutual attention. Through each reflection, Cardinal Radcliffe shines a fresh light on how to be a missionary, synodal Church in our crucified world.
