1. Points of view that are contrary to one another need not be omitted but can be
acknowledged and stated as such. Views should not be excluded simply
because they were expressed by a small minority of participants. Indeed,
sometimes the perspective of what we could call the “minority report” can be a
prophetic witness to what God wants to say to the Church

3. You can also have photo documentation to be presented as attachments.

6. Pray to the Holy Spirit for the sensitivity to capture and listen to His inspiration
while reading through the responses.
7. Remember, we are synthesizing by “sensing” the spirit’s inspiration and not
giving our own interpretation.

internalize it and owned it as pastor of the parish (sign the synthesis)
