Bishop ignoring limits in requirements for clergy? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orders

'requirements for clergy?' is the definition.
(holy orders)

'bishop ignoring limits' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'ignoring' is a deletion indicator.
'limits' becomes 'borders'.
'borders' with 'b' removed is 'ORDERS'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for orders that I've seen before include "Presumably 26 [TURKEY] will have to have taken these" , "'Decrees, edicts (6)'" , "Sends away for" , "Dictates, commands" , "Decrees, commands" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
