- The Holy Synod periodically holds Ecclesiastical Conclaves in which Cardinals from all over the Imperium journey to Terra and discuss those issues of the day currently most important to the Ecclesiarchy. As the Holy Synod determines religious policy in the Imperium it is extremely influential in the Imperial government and one or more of the Cardinals sitting on the Holy Synod may represent the Synod on the Senatorum Imperialis alongside the Ecclesiarch at different times in Imperial history, especially when the reigning Ecclesiarch is politically weak.

| - The Holy Synod periodically holds Ecclesiastical Conclaves in which Cardinals from all over the Imperium journey to Terra and discuss those issues of the day currently most important to the Ecclesiarchy. As the Holy Synod determines religious policy in the Imperium it is extremely influential in the Imperial government and one or more of the Cardinals sitting on the Holy Synod may represent the Synod on the Senatorum Imperialis alongside the Ecclesiarch at different times in Imperial history, especially when the reigning Ecclesiarch is politically weak. Alongside the Holy Synod based on Terra, another Ecclesiarchy ruling body known as the Synod Ministra exists on the Cardinal World of Ophelia VII. Although the Holy Synod on Terra remains the supreme governing body of the Ecclesiarchy and the primary authority on the spiritual doctrines of the Imperial Cult, the Synod Ministra acts as a secondary governing body. and an alternative source of political power. Located further from Terra, the Synod Ministra relays and disseminates the dictates of the Holy Synod, enforcing the religious laws of the Ecclesiarchy and the Imperium. Secondly, the Synod Ministra provides a defence against the political manipulation of the Ecclesiarchy by other Imperial Adepta based on Terra such as the Administratum or even a single individual within the ranks of the Adeptus Ministorum itself.
