Minor church leaders regularly misled (5)
I believe the answer is:
child
'minor' is the definition.
(I know that minor can be written as child)
'church leaders regularly misled' is the wordplay.
'church leaders' becomes 'ch' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternate letters of 'misled' are 'ild'.
'ch'+'ild'='CHILD'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for child that I've seen before include "Juvenile" , "Little one" , "Immature human" , "Young human" , "Baby" .)
