Agree with the man entering the Church (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chime

'agree' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'the man entering the church' is the wordplay.
'the man' becomes 'him' (**).
'entering' indicates putting letters inside.
'the church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'him' going into 'ce' is 'CHIME'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chime that I've seen before include "(Of clock) strike" , "(Of bells) ring" , "Harmonise, peal" , "Clang" , "Sound of bell - agree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
