	Holy Synod - OrthodoxWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Holy Synod is used as a formal name for the body itself, as distinct from synod, which more often refers to the actual meetings of these bodies.
		Membership in the holy synod is determined by the traditions and canonical documents of a particular church.
		Holy Synod in this usage is distinct from an Ecumenical Council, which may also informally be called a holy synod and consists of bishops from throughout the Orthodox Church, acting together to deal with Church-wide issues.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Holy Synod
		To them everything is satisfactory, the Holy Synod a free ecclesiastical tribunal, the relations between Church and State in Russia the ideal ones for a Christian and Orthodox land.
		The synod further administers all church property, controls the expenditure, is responsible for the fabric of churches and monasteries.
		Although the synods of Bulgaria, Servia, and Rumania have a certain dependence on the State (whose sanction is necessary for the promulgation of their edicts), there is not in their case anything like the shameless Erastianism of Russia and Greece.

	Points of Reflection for the Holy Synod
		We ask the Holy Synod never to permit such practices in the Ukrainian Church, and to keep in mind also that such practices are used by feminist and neo-Modernist ideologues to agitate for the supposed eventual ‘ordination’ of priestesses.
		We ask the Holy Synod to safeguard the legitimate freedom of the faithful to maintain the pious practice of kneeling during those parts of the Divine Liturgy which the habit of custom has established (including during Pascha).
		We ask the Synod to recall that the Synod of 1940 exhorted the faithful to practice this devotion — the same Synod which prepared the Ukrainian nation for decades of persecution and martyrdom.

		A new headache has arisen for the Holy Synod, which convenes again today at Petraki Monastery, chaired by Archbishop Christodoulos, as the focus today will once again be on serious allegations against members of the hierarchy.

		The members of the Holy Synod are expected over the two-day convention, also to regard the case of Metropolitan Bishop Panteleimon of Corinth, and ask him for explanations, after he was brought before the court on financial charges of embezzling a large sum of money from the Cathedral.
