Church of England General Synod

The Church of England General Synod is the national assembly for the Church of England, responsible for making decisions on church policy, governance, and doctrine. It consists of three houses: bishops, clergy, and laity (ordinary members). The Synod meets regularly to discuss issues such as social justice, church practices, and governance. It plays a crucial role in shaping the church's direction and policies, reflecting both traditional values and contemporary societal issues. Decisions made by the Synod can influence not only church life but also the Church of England's relationship with society at large.
