Crossword Genius

Minister a sport, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pastor

'minister' is the definition.
(type of church minister)

'a sport perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'sport'='asport'
'asport' with letters rearranged gives 'PASTOR'.

(Other definitions for pastor that I've seen before include "who may provide a service" , "A sport (anag)" , "Flock's leader" , "One with a flock (of people)" , "Old shepherd" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
