In the Anglican Church, a synod is a governing body, often at the diocesan level, it makes decisions about policy, strategy, and mission, and is composed of clergy and lay members

Synods make decisions on matters of faith, doctrine, and practice, as well as on organizational and financial matters

Synods provide a platform for the collective voice of the clergy and laity in the church. 

Synods establish formal diocesan structures and set the rules by which activities within those structures are conducted. 

Synods are responsible for allocating resources, including financial resources, to various ministries and support activities. 

Many synods have a standing committee that acts in the interim between synod meetings, overseeing the decisions and deliberations of the synod, 

Synods may send representatives to broader Anglican bodies, such as the Anglican Consultative Council, to discuss and reflect on mission, ecumenism, doctrine, and social justice issues.
