Bother taking religious instruction from the divine (6)
I believe the answer is:
priest
'divine' is the definition.
(I know that priest is a type of priest)
'bother taking religious instruction' is the wordplay.
'bother' becomes 'pest' (I've seen this in another clue).
'taking' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'religious instruction' becomes 'RI' (abbreviation).
'pest' going around 'ri' is 'PRIEST'.
'from the' is the link.
(Other definitions for priest that I've seen before include "Religious official" , "Religious functionary" , "Man of the cloth" , "Professional woman perhaps" , "Clergyman" .)
