Wild fire damaged church (6)
I believe the answer is:
fierce
'wild' is the definition.
('fierce' can be similar in meaning to 'wild')
'fire damaged church' is the wordplay.
'damaged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'fire' is an anagram of 'fier'.
'fier'+'ce'='FIERCE'
(Other definitions for fierce that I've seen before include "Ferocious, savage" , "Violent in manner or action" , "Vicious" , "Intensely aggressive" , "Violent in temper, not gentle" .)
