LOL! This is becoming way more complicated than it needs to be. All I need is to know:
a) when a certain person is sitting in this church pretending to pray, could they tell from squinting sideways from under their hands whether or not the man who's just approached them is the minister/pastor/priest or not (ie, would he be wearing a cassock);
b) how I should refer to said minister/pastor/priest in the narrative.
Seems to me that I've got my answers - any Christian religion will do, with a preference for Methodist.
Thanks!
Yvonne
