Synodal polity is the governance form in which a church is governed by synods made up of clergy and lay delegates. Wikipedia describes a synod as a council of a Christian denomination, usually convened to decide an issue of doctrine, administration or application, and notes that the term is also sometimes used to refer to a church that is governed by a synod. In this atlas the entity stands for the governance form itself, so denominations, religious orders and societies governed this way can be grouped and compared under it, while each member entry keeps its own governance facts and sources.
