On October 4-29, 2023, the Synod of Bishops will celebrate the first session of its 16th Ordinary General Assembly, with a second session that is scheduled to be held around the same time next year. Since its first assembly in 1967, there has been a total of fifteen ordinary or regular general assemblies, three extraordinary general assemblies, and eleven special assemblies to tackle regional concerns. However, this coming Synod is different in many important ways.
