The governing body will once again look at the issue of women bishops, but this is expected to take just minutes.
It will be the eighth consecutive synod at which the subject has been put on the agenda, but it will also be the last as the legislation has been passed.
As of 17th November, dioceses across England will be free to appoint women to the senior roles. However, the House of Bishops will still need to iron out the details the following day.
The Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham will be the first to consider women, although a number of dioceses will do so soon after.
There are also six suffragan bishop positions currently open, and these are the most likely positions for the first woman bishop to take up.
The Church has stated that women will not be prioritised and that it will come down to "who is the best person for the role".
Speaking at a media briefing, synod secretary general William Fittall said he would be "surprised" if there wasn't at least one woman bishop by the end of 2015.
Elsewhere, the shorter synod will discuss the Anglican-Methodist Covenant, which aims to get the churches working more closely.
Synod members will also be addressed for the first time by a Muslim.
Dr Fuad Nahdi, executive director of the Radical Middle Way, will be joined by Bishop of Leeds, Rt Rev Nick Baines, and Bishop Angaelos, who is General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Great Britain, for a panel discussion on violence against minorities in Iraq and Syria.
