Synods

Synods are formal gatherings of church leaders, such as bishops, to discuss and make decisions on important religious and organizational issues. They serve as forums for dialogue, guidance, and consensus, helping the church address doctrinal, pastoral, or administrative matters. Organized by various Christian denominations, synods can be local, regional, or global, and their resolutions influence church policies and practices. Think of them as councils where leaders collaborate to ensure the spiritual and organizational health of their community.
