Ordained cleric (6)
I believe the answer is:
deacon
'ordained cleric' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for deacon that I've seen before include "Churchman" , "Layman attending to church duties" , "Clergyman of low rank" , "Rank of clergy" , "Church official - canoed (anag)" .)
