Abstract

The Eastern Church sees synodality through her sacramental and liturgical life. Her character of synodality comes to the fore in the celebration of the Liturgy; it is the window to the structure and functioning of synodality, a blueprint for being a synodal Church, with a greater resolve to build up the assembly going forth after the Liturgy. The Eastern Churches, in general, and the Syro-Malabar Church, in particular, is the Church singing the praise and honour, worship and thanksgiving to the Lord our God, which orchestrates harmony and ordered symphony in unison with the creation and the people. The author explores the structure, nature, and nurturing ground of synodality in the Liturgy of the Syro Malabar Qurbana.
