Division or breach within an established church (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

schism

(Other definitions for schism that I've seen before include "Split in religious body over differences in beliefs" , "Formal split in a church" , "Split in church unity" , "Breach or division within church" , "Friction or division in church organisation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
