Church of England Synod

The Church of England Synod is its governing body, composed of bishops, priests, and lay members, that meets to discuss and decide on important issues affecting the church. It functions like a parliament, making decisions on doctrine, worship, church policies, and financial matters. By representing different parts of the church community, the Synod ensures that various perspectives are considered in shaping the church’s direction and responding to societal changes. Its purpose is to support the spiritual and organizational health of the Church of England through collaborative, democratic decision-making.
