Bad feeling in country church (6)
I believe the answer is:
malice
'bad feeling' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'country church' is the wordplay.
'country' becomes 'mali' (Mali is an example).
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'mali'+'ce'='MALICE'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for malice that I've seen before include "Spite, venom" , "Malevolence, spite" , "Spitefulness" , "Hate" , "Ill will, a desire to harm others" .)
