Church council (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

synod

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

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