Queen's foreign church order (8)
I believe the answer is:
sequence
'order' is the definition.
(sequence is a kind of order)
'queen's foreign church' is the wordplay.
'foreign' indicates anagramming the letters (foreign order of the letters).
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'queens' with letters rearranged gives 'sequen'.
'sequen'+'ce'='SEQUENCE'
(Other definitions for sequence that I've seen before include "Order of succession; hymn sung after gradual" , "Particular order (eg, of events)" , "Series of things in order" , "Succession of ordered things" , "Where things follow in logical order or recurrent pattern" .)
