Church leader out in Peru meeting Black Angel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cherub

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'angel' is the definition.
(cherub is a kind of angel)

'church leader out in peru meeting black' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'church' could be 'ch' (common abbreviation) and 'ch' is present in the answer.
'meeting' could be 'rub' (rub is a kind of meeting) and 'rub' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cherub that I've seen before include "A heavenly baby" , "Lovely child" , "Little angel" , "A heavenly winged babe" , "innocent-looking child" .)
