The synod fathers are bishops and other church leaders who participate in a synod, a gathering of clergy and laypeople within the Catholic Church to discuss important issues facing the Church. They provide guidance, share insights, and contribute to the development of Church teaching and practice. The term is often used in the context of the Synod of Bishops, which convenes periodically to address specific themes or challenges. Their discussions and recommendations are intended to reflect the collective wisdom of the Church's leadership.
The Synod of Whitby was a seventh century Northumbrian synod where King Oswiu of Northumbria ruled that his kingdom would calculate Easter and observe the monastictonsure according to the customs of Rome, rather than the customs practised by Iona and its satellite institutions. The synod was summoned in 664 at Saint Hilda's doublemonastery of Streonshalh (Streanoeshalch), later called Whitby Abbey
