| Summary: | Synodal principle and "priesthood of all believers" go hand in hand: Both are based on the individual relationship between Christ and individual Christians. However, it took time until the Lutheran church had fully established synodality. Dating back to the Reformation the synodal principle could only evolve due to theologians re-emphasizing its value (Schleiermacher). Moreover, territorial authorities had to step back from ruling the church (after 1918) and the church as such had to be re-built (after NS-regime). This suggests that synodality is not a fast-selling item, but needs nourishment and support. Il principio sinodale e il "sacerdozio di tutti i credenti" vanno di pari passo: entrambi si basano sulla relazione individuale tra Cristo e i singoli cristiani. Tuttavia, ci è voluto del tempo prima che la Chiesa luterana affermasse pienamente la sinodalità. A partire dalla Riforma, il principio sinodale poté evolversi solo grazie ai teologi che ne ribadirono il valore (Schleiermacher). Inoltre, le autorità territoriali hanno dovuto rinunciare a governare la Chiesa (dopo il 1918) e la Chiesa in quanto tale ha dovuto essere ricostruita (dopo il regime nazista). Ciò suggerisce che la sinodalità non è un prodotto di rapida vendita, ma ha bisogno di nutrimento e sostegno. |
