Army padre (8)
I believe the answer is:
chaplain
'army padre' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for chaplain that I've seen before include "Armed services clergyman" , "Forces' clergyman" , "Member of the clergy, in 24 ac say" , "Member of clergy ministering to an organisation" , "sky pilot" .)
