Summary/Abstract: In the document Synodality in the Life and Mission of the Church published in 2018 International Theological Commission presents synodality as a way of life and activities of the Church. In the light of this document one can see how intuitions regarding the synodal process were realized in the Church of Katowice during II Synod of Archdiocese of Katowice in 2012-2016. These intuitions refer maily to two basic spheres: spiritual experience of the Church as a community of faith where everyone is exhorted to participate and share responsibility, as well as an institutional organization that allows the voice of everyone eager to participate in the discussion about the local church to be heard. This article presents the stages of community-based discernment of the Spirit of God (the process of synodal work) as well as particular formative and organizational activities undertaken during II Synod.
