Grant Church is showing attitude (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stance

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

'showing attitude' is the definition.
'stance' can be an answer for 'attitude' (stance is a kind of attitude). I am not certain of the 'showing' bit.

'grant church' is the wordplay.
'grant' becomes 'stan' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'stan'+'ce'='STANCE'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stance that I've seen before include "Posture, standing position" , "Position assumed by upright person" , "Bearing" , "Posture assumed" , "One's physical or mental attitude" .)
