The minister could be a sport (6)
I believe the answer is:
pastor
'the minister' is the definition.
(type of church minister)
'could be a sport' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'sport'='asport'
'asport' anagrammed gives 'PASTOR'.
(Other definitions for pastor that I've seen before include "Church minister" , "who may provide a service" , "A sport (anag)" , "Minister of religion" , "Padre perhaps" .)
