HistoryThe smallest unit of church government is the Parish. Deanery Synod is the next tier "up". Above these come Diocesan Synod and General Synod. A deanery is a group of parishes. Both clergy and lay people are able to be members of a Deanery Synod. All active clergy are automatically members of a deanery synod. Lay members are elected by their parishes - between two and four from each parish, depending on the size of the parish electoral roll. Elections usually take place at the Annual Church Meeting. Deanery synods act as an essential intermediary body between the parish and diocesan synod. For example, there are topics which are passed for discussion from diocesan synod to the deanery, and then, through the deanery to the parish. Communication can also take place in the opposite direction. These discussions might result in a vote. ¶<http://www.petersfield.uk.c
