Synod of the Church of Scotland

The Synod of the Church of Scotland is a regional governing body responsible for overseeing church affairs within a specific geographic area, such as a diocese or presbytery. It brings together local church leaders, clergy, and representatives to coordinate activities, discuss theological and practical issues, and support the spiritual health of churches in that region. The Synod operates within the broader structure of the Church of Scotland, helping to ensure consistency in doctrine, worship, and community engagement across its member churches.
