Minister's assistant (6)

I believe the answer is:

deacon

'minister's assistant' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for deacon that I've seen before include "Rank of clergy" , "Church post" , "Junior minister" , "Priest's assistant" , "An ordained minister" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
