The attractions of church members (6)
I believe the answer is:
charms
'the attractions' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'church members' is the wordplay.
'church' becomes 'ch' (abbreviation on maps etc).
'members' becomes 'arms' (arm is a kind of member).
'ch'+'arms'='CHARMS'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for charms that I've seen before include "Delights" , "Wins over" , "Talismans" , "Attracts with bracelet ornaments" , "Appeals" .)
