A church council (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

synod

'a church council' is the definition.
(type of church assembly)

This is the entire clue.

(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.
