A feature of some churches to cause anger (7)
I believe the answer is:
incense
'anger' is the definition.
(to incense is make angry)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for incense that I've seen before include "Nettle" , "Material with fragrant fumes" , "Enrage - fragrant material for burning" , "Make one see red" , "Substance burned for its sweet smell" .)
