Abstract
The term synod is derived from Greek legal terminology and refers to an assembly of people with the same goal and the same path. The term was used very early to characterize the assembly of Christian women and men in community gathering and councils in small or larger circles. Today, the term synod is linked to very different power and decision-making structures in the individual Christian churches. In the early church, women were represented in all positions of the community, and early Christian communities lived in discipleship of equals. The European Women´s Synod, which is understood to be a movement of critical seeking, uses the term synod to reclaim our historical and religious heritage.
