Matched church for love in ecclesiastical council (6)
I believe the answer is:
synced
'matched' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'church for love in ecclesiastical council' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'church' could be 'ce' (Church of England) and 'ce' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'synd' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for synced that I've seen is " together?".)
