English bishop finds sin (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

err

'sin' is the definition.
(to sin is to err morally)

'english bishop' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'bishop' becomes 'rr' (abbreviation for Right Reverend).
'e'+'rr'='ERR'

'finds' is the link.

(Other definitions for err that I've seen before include "Make mistakes" , "Go astray" , "Make a wrong move" , "Drop a clanger" , "Go wrong" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
