I'm going to translate for you guys.
A synod is a council meeting to discuss ecclesiastical business. Normally, it's between Catholic bishops, but this is the first year that a Jewish rabbi ever addressed a synod.
A vespers service is an important service in the Catholic Orthodox Church, and is like a Thanksgiving prayer service. This is the first time that a vespers service was held at a synod.
Finally, this is the first time in the Church that female auditors outnumbered male auditors.
