Synodality: Japanese Archbishop’s Appeal to Asian Churches
Archbishop Tarcisio Isao Kikuchi of Tokyo has called on church leaders in Asia to ensure greater lay participation to ensure synodality by respecting cultural differences in the largely “clerical” Asian Churches.
“Asian countries are still very clerical: it is the clergy who decide,” said Kikuchi, who is secretary general of the Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences (FABC).
