Minister has a place in the mountains? (8)
I believe the answer is:
chaplain
'minister' is the definition.
(I know that chaplain is a type of chaplain)
'a place in the mountains?' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'pl' (abbreviation used in postal addresses).
'in the' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'mountains?' becomes 'chain' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'pl'='apl'
'apl' inserted within 'chain' is 'CHAPLAIN'.
'has' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chaplain that I've seen before include "Member of the clergy, in 24 ac say" , "Clergyman attached to an organisation" , "'Member of the clergy, in a hospital, say (8)'" , "Clergyman attached to military unit" , "Christian clergyman attached to an institution, military body etc" .)
