Consent after a prayer in an amended version (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amen

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

'prayer in an amended version' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'consent after a' is the wordplay.
'consent' becomes 'men' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'men' put after 'a' is 'AMEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amen that I've seen before include "I agree!" , "Word at the end of a prayer" , "prayer's ending" , "Name for end to prayer" , "Prayer ending" .)
