Minister making some civic arrangements (5)
I believe the answer is:
vicar
'minister' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'some civic arrangements' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'VICAR' is hidden within 'civic arrangements'.
'making' is the link.
(Other definitions for vicar that I've seen before include "Oliver Goldsmith wrote 'The . . . . . of Wakefield'" , "Member of the clergy" , "Local priest" , "Serviceman" , "Man with a dog collar" .)
