Otherwise it's part of a chapel service (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

else

'otherwise' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'part of a chapel service' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ELSE' is hidden within 'chapel service'.

'it's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for else that I've seen before include "Adverb meaning if not, otherwise" , "Besides, otherwise" , "Besides; instead" , "In addition; different" , "As an alternative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
