Synods and Councils

Synods

A synod is a meeting of elected members by which the Church of England is governed, a bit like Parliament, a county council or district council. It is where important changes are discussed and voted on. The Church of England has three tiers of Synods: the General Synod (national decision making body), Diocesan Synod, and Deanery Synods.
