I myself pursue church ring (5)
I believe the answer is:
chime
'ring' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'i myself pursue church' is the wordplay.
'myself' becomes 'me'.
'pursue' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'i'+'me'='ime'
'ime' after 'ch' is 'CHIME'.
(Other definitions for chime that I've seen before include "Harmonise, peal" , "Bell's sound" , "Tuned bell" , "Ring; harmonise" , "Agree (with); ring" .)
