Risk getting left in part of church (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chancel

'part of church' is the definition.
(area of a church)

'risk getting left' is the wordplay.
'risk' becomes 'chance' (chance is a kind of risk).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'chance'+'l'='CHANCEL'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for chancel that I've seen before include "choir and clergy's area" , "Part of church near altar" , "where sanctuary may be found" , "Clergy's area of the church" , "where choir sits" .)
