Middle East – Special Synod October 2010

A translation of the unofficial synthesis of the “instrumentum laboris” (working document) of the Special Assembly for the Middle East of the Synod of Bishops, which will take place in October in Rome, is available on ZENIT’s Web page.

The unofficial summary was published Saturday by the Vatican press office.

Benedict XVI delivered the “instrumentum laboris” to the seven patriarchs and two archbishops of the Middle East on Sunday, the last day of his apostolic journey to Cyprus.

The full text of the working document can be found here: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/synod/documents/rc_synod_doc_20100606_instrumentum-mo_en.pdf.
