Crossword Genius

Reshuffled, a sport minister (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pastor

'minister' is the definition.
('pastor' can be a synonym of 'minister')

'reshuffled a sport' is the wordplay.
'reshuffled' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'sport'='asport'
'asport' anagrammed gives 'PASTOR'.

(Other definitions for pastor that I've seen before include "Old shepherd" , "Church minister" , "To spar with clergyman" , "Member of the clergy" , "One with a flock (of people)" .)
