Holy Synod of Bishops

The Holy Synod of Bishops is a leadership council within certain Christian Orthodox churches, such as the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches. It consists of senior bishops who meet to advise on doctrinal, theological, and administrative matters, helping guide the church’s policies and spiritual direction. The Synod functions as a governing body, ensuring unity and consistency in church teachings and practices across dioceses. Its authority is shared with other church leaders and constitutional structures, making it an essential part of church governance and maintaining doctrinal integrity.
