| | Clergy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The clergy of the Orthodox Church are the bishops, priests, and deacons, the same offices identified in the New Testament and found in the early church. | | | Clergy is the generic term used to describe the formal religious leadership within a given religion. | | | Depending on the religion, clergy usually take care of the ritual aspects of the religious life, teach or otherwise help in spreading the religion's doctrine and practices. |

| | Clergy are religious and spiritual leaders who help answer such questions and teach or interpret their faith or tradition. | | | Clergy are expected to follow their faith as a calling and not as a source of wealth. | | | Clergy represent a particular faith, and often, one branch of a particular faith. |

| | First Estate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | During the latter years of the ancien régime, the Catholic Church in France (the Gallican Church) was a separate entity within the realm of Papal control, both a State within a State and Church within a Church. | | | Although some great churchmen came out of this system, much of the higher clergy continued to live the lives of aristocrats, enjoying the wealth derived from church lands and tithes and, in some cases, paying little or no attention to their churchly duties. | | | The notion of Estates of the realm also exists in Britain, where the closest analogue to the French First Estate would be the Lords Spiritual, corresponding to the highest reaches of the French higher clergy. |

| | For that reason, clergy robes are most common in churches that are in the Reformed tradition, such as Presbyterian churches, and in other groups with Calvinist roots, such as Baptists. | | | It is customary to cross oneself at the beginning and ending of prayer (at the words “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”), before receiving Communion, and at certain points in the liturgy. | | | Though many people assoicate clergy shirts with the Roman Catholic Church, that is only because the their sheer size makes their clergy conspicuous. |

| | Clergy and often their spouses are the key roles for members of their congregations. | | | Clergy often set extraordinarily high standards on their performance, achievement, and commitment to their faith. | | | Preaching does not just come from the pulpit, but also from the examples they give and live, (many times the only Bible a person reads is the life projected from their minister's and their families). |

| | Clergy who deny the existence of God and other key doctrines could soon face heresy trials in the Church of England. | | | Members of the House, who were meeting before the full Synod began, criticised liberal clergy for diluting traditional teaching, though one said that they did not propose burning heretics at the stake. | | | The House of Bishops has independently agreed to reintroduce the proposals, which were defeated by a narrow margin last July after clergy expressed fears that they would be victims of a witchhunt. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cleric |
| | That the distinction between clergy and laity was recognized in New Testament times is plain from St. Paul's statement that the bishops have been placed by the Holy Ghost to rule the Church (Acts 20:28), for the right to rule implies a correlative obligation to obey. | | | They were received into the sacred ministry by the bishops for the purpose of supplying the dearth of the clergy in the outlying districts of the dioceses where no benefices existed. | | | Here they were to act as missionaries and in course of time, if possible, to gather together congregations who would build and endow a church. |
