The Final Document of the synod does not propose significant changes, such as ordaining women, but pushes for improved training, lay involvement, and accountability.
Mary McAleese criticized the Synod report as "one big wordy yawn, signifying absolutely nothing," suggesting it fails to address crucial issues and maintain engagement.
The report seeks to prevent schism within conservative factions by avoiding bold changes while possibly disappointing progressive constituents hoping for reform.
The emphasis of the synod was on a way of being the church rather than specific actions, as contentious topics were excluded from discussion.
