Made pastor enter in prayer (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paternoster

'prayer' is the definition.
(Paternoster is an example)

'made pastor enter' is the wordplay.
'made' indicates an anagram.
'pastor'+'enter'='pastorenter'
'pastorenter' is an anagram of 'PATERNOSTER'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for paternoster that I've seen before include "a continuous lift" , "supplication" , "One can get uplifted by this" , "that could take people to a different level" , "The Lord''s Prayer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
