Minister repairs spire on temple initially (6)
I believe the answer is:
priest
'minister' is the definition.
(a church minister)
'repairs spire on temple initially' is the wordplay.
'repairs' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'repaired' mean this).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'temple' is 't'.
'spire' is an anagram of 'pries'.
'pries'+'t'='PRIEST'
(Other definitions for priest that I've seen before include "Member of the clergy" , "Stripe (anag)" , "Professional woman perhaps" , "Religious teacher" , "person of religion" .)
