Present from the rector (4)

I believe the answer is:

here

'present' is the definition.
(both can mean in attendance)

'from the rector' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HERE' can be found hidden inside 'the rector'.

(Other definitions for here that I've seen before include "In attendance" , "On this spot" , "In this place - present" , "At this stage" , "Present - at this point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
