Minister (Christianity)

Religious occupation in Christianity

In Christianity, a minister is a person authorised by a church or other religious organization to perform functions such as teaching beliefs; leading services such as weddings, baptisms or funerals; or otherwise providing spiritual guidance to the community. The term is taken from Latin minister ("servant", "attendant"). It differs from other terms for religious leaders (priest, clergyman) in that it deemphasizes the significance of ordination.
