General Synod

The General Synod is a governing body within some Christian denominations, like the Anglican Church, responsible for making important decisions on doctrine, policies, and church practices. It typically consists of clergy and lay representatives who convene regularly to discuss and vote on issues affecting the church's direction and mission. Think of it as a national or regional assembly that helps guide the church’s faith and governance, ensuring that its teachings and operations reflect shared values and adapt to societal changes.
