Crossword Genius

A bishop among people giving recital (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

narration

'recital' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a bishop among people' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'rr' (abbreviation for Right Reverend).
'among' is an insertion indicator.
'people' becomes 'nation'.
'a'+'rr'='arr'
'arr' put into 'nation' is 'NARRATION'.

'giving' is the link.

(Other definitions for narration that I've seen before include "Story" , "Spoken account" , "telling" , "Voice-over in film" , "Account of events" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
