Polarisation presents one of the biggest challenges to the unity of the Church, which is far from immune to the political divisions that have become writ large across our political culture. Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, the preacher to the papal household, has pointed out that fraternity among Catholics has been “wounded” by “political options that grow into ideologies.” In this episode, Christopher Lamb explores whether the synod process can become a counterweight to polarisation. Proponents argue that synods offer a safe space for disagreements to be aired and a way for believers to deepen the faith that binds them together. David McCallum, a Jesuit working in Rome and who runs a leadership programme in the Church, says the synod offers a model for exercising authority in an entirely different way from what we see among some populist political leaders. Synodality, he says, can ensure that harmony emerges from a radical diversity of opinions expressed within a set of parameters that maintain the Church's unity. Not everyone agrees. Dr Gavin Ashenden, a former Church of England priest and Catholic commentator, is worried that the synod is being used to pursue a progressive agenda. He believes the cultural crisis the world is living in demands the Church interrogate the zeitgeist; otherwise, it risks following the “spirit of the age” and diluting its prophetic voice. Dr Ashenden stresses he's not opposed to synodality as a concept. However, he relates his experience from his ministry in the Church of England as a warning to the Catholic Church, which he joined because it offers a “profound, worked out wisdom” in responding to the challenges of the age. The Church, he adds, must offer stability. Finally, Gerry O'Hanlon, an ecclesiologist, synod expert and former superior of the Jesuits in Ireland, argues that the synod process has been a hopeful experience for the Church in Ireland. Despite the disagreements that it has unleashed, O'Hanlon says that this period of history demands that institutions engage in “open speech” and not hide away from contested areas of disagreement. He also offers a powerful example of how the synod model can be utilised to heal the wounds caused by the scourge of the clerical sexual abuse crisis. This is the eighth episode of The Church's Radical Reform, a podcast on the synodal movement presented by Christopher Lamb. Christopher is Vatican Correspondent for The Tablet and a PhD student at the Centre for Catholic Studies at Durham University. The podcast is sponsored by the Centre for Catholic Studies and The Tablet. Producers: Silvia Sacco Jamie Weston

The past 22 months have brought ample challenges for leaders across the country. Schools leaders have all had to make difficult decisions. Staying connected to our purpose can help keep us fueled with passion during difficult times.

Agile strategy has an inherent creative tension between big transformations and small wins. Can we do both at the same time? New Ecuadorean Minister of Production and Trade, Julio Prado, is committed to making it happen in his country.  Prado attended a Strategic Doing training in the US, a few years ago, hoping to use the discipline to expand his understanding of how to grow clusters. He now has the opportunity to do that work on a national scale. It's an enormous audacious goal. It will take many, many, *many* small wins to get there - but particularly as Ecuador tries to climb out of the pandemic, there's the need for big, fast transformation across the economy. In this episode, the Lab's director, Ed Morrison, talks with him at the end of the Lab's training sessions and workshops there about how Prado sees Strategic Doing enabling change in Ecuador, leaning into that tension to address both the big and the small simultaneously.

It's been a while but it's sooo good to be back. This episode was recorded back in January and we're so excited to finally bring it to public ears. In this episode, we explore Finding the Courage to Move through Creative Tension by Embracing it as Self-Initiation. Creative tension can happen when we experience setbacks, delays, tech failures, stillness, lack of flow, writer's "block", and just pure exhaustion. We see it as a natural part of the creative process. So often, it can be easy to think that if we're experiencing Creative Tension, we're doing something "wrong", but that isn't always the case. Sometimes creative tension comes along to reveal to us things we may want to learn, accept, or integrate in order to move toward our intentions with grace. Creative tension can be a magnifying glass for what longs to come into alignment with our intentions. Creative Tension can also be a powerful experience of initiation into personal, professional, and creative evolution. It calls us into courage. It calls us to find the willingness to be liberated from all that is not serving our intentions. As much as it can feel like a pain, Creative Tension *can* also be a gift. What do you think? Pain or Gift? About Journey to Sacred Self-Initiation Journey to Sacred Self-Initiation is a free live three-day series for awakening into dharmic creative flow.

Change has accelerated for all of us over this past year. External demands and pressures are calling for leaders to change the way they do business. While the majority of our employees want to help the organization achieve excellence, not everyone feels this way. Our responsibility as leaders is to focus on building work environments that empower solid and high performers to be accountable and see their value to the organization.

One of the most important - and necessary - aspects of personal mastery is the idea of "creative tension." Creative tension is the gap between your personal vision and your current reality... and the emotional tension that comes from creative tension. It is important to understand, the primary reason we fail to reach personal and organizational goals is our unwillingness to live with - and live in - emotional tension. Listen to this episode to learn more about creative/emotional tension and how you can thrive through necessary tension. JC Talks: A Leadership PodcastJC Hurtado-Prater, Host JC & Co. | Great People.

Through slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow and even today, the Church has been a place where African-Americans can lead groups, hold elected office and fully participate in organizations. The Church has stood in the gap, where society failed African-Americans. However, the Church can also require and expect a great deal from its leaders and members. Churches are expected to respond to every community trauma, police shooting, neighborhood disinvestment, financial neglect, racism, classism, gentrification, pandemics, failing schools, food deserts, congregational care, etc. etc. Once you become active in a church, it can feel like your name keeps coming up, to do more and more. As if all of your free time is now church time. The work feels never ending and church work can become a grind.

The world is increasingly rife with ambiguity, has been for decades, and will continue. Rapid cultural, social, and organizational change can be intimidating and lead to nostalgia for what seemed like a simpler time. As Thomas Wolfe said, “You can’t go home again.” Ambiguity provides unease and also great opportunity (and necessity) for a new kind of leadership built on mutualism and creative tension.

As creatives, we all love that God was the original Creator. It's an aspect of God that compels us to create! But what happens when our creative endeavors become more of a weight than a joy? When they become more about what we make rather than who we're making it for? If you've asked those questions, then you're not alone. In this workshop, we'll be discussing varying aspects of the creative process while looking for ways for us to honor God - not our platform.Workshop Speaker: Riley Manzo

In Episode 32 we extend the ideas discussed in Episode 31 on creating opportunities for failure. How do we let go so that we can move forward?
