Abstract
This thesis provides a brief analysis of "synodality" and its roots in the Christian tradition, how that notion has been developed and applied during the Roman Catholic Church's "Synod on Synodality," and observes how the concept of "synodality" can be applied to the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) by analyzing the structure and teachings of the LCMS and highlighting how the tenets of "synodality" harmonize with the LCMS.
