The formation course offers a re-reading of some principles of the Social Doctrine of the Church in the light of the processes of social transformation and the emerging declinations of charity within the synodal church. The three verbs – to learn, to include, to take care – are privileged keys to understanding the changes taking place in the realities in which the works and actions of charity unfold, that is, the home, the church, the city. In a particular way, caring for the family, the domestic church, means valuing the caring relationships that bind people together with social institutions. Works and actions of charity have a political and instituting value that is also exercised in the relationship between charity and the synodal church, between “being social” and being synodal.
