Clergyman I found in church (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minister

'clergyman' is the definition.
(I know that minister is a type of clergyman)

'i found in church' is the wordplay.
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'church' becomes 'minster' (minster is a kind of church).
'i' going within 'minster' is 'MINISTER'.

(Other definitions for minister that I've seen before include "Form of address" , "Servant of state or church" , "Member of the clergy or of the Front Bench" , "supply as before" , "Senior politician" .)
