Some direct orders for the parson (6)
I believe the answer is:
rector
'the parson' is the definition.
('rector' can be a synonym of 'parson')
'some direct orders for' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'RECTOR' is hidden in the letters of 'direct orders for'.
(Other definitions for rector that I've seen before include "Cleric" , "Member of the clergy" , "Head of some colleges" , "Vicar" , "Church official" .)
