From Marist Studies
The Synod of Matamata
I am intrigued by paragraph [3]
- "During that time we together refuted the main objections which the Protestants typically make, and we developed the custom of making our spiritual exercises in common. This get-together, which we pleasantly styled the synod of Matamata (Father Séon’s mission) at once consoled us and very much benefited us."
I wonder if the document known as Pompallier's Instruction to the Missionaries may be the result of that gathering (rather than being the work of Pompallier himself). - Merv
