Dispense these days with one in church (10)
I believe the answer is:
administer
'dispense' is the definition.
('administer' can be a synonym of 'dispense')
'these days with one in church' is the wordplay.
'these days' becomes 'ad' (as in Anno Domini, after Christ).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one in church' becomes 'minister'.
'ad'+'minister'='ADMINISTER'
(Other definitions for administer that I've seen before include "Govern" , "give" , "Apply" , "Deal out (punishment)" , "act as manager" .)
