Church council (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

synod

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for synod that I've seen before include "Ecclesiastic council" , "Ecclesiastical gathering" , "Ecumenical council" , "Council of bishops" , "council meeting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press, The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, The Mirror, The Times, the Evening Standard, the LA Times and The Independent.
