A church council (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

synod

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">a church council</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(type of church assembly)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for synod that I've seen before include "Ecclesiastical council" , "Assembly of the clergy" , "Ecumenical council" , "Council of bishops" , "Church council" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
