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 Sunday Times, The Times, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press, The Mirror, The Independent, the LA Times and The New York Times.
