Cleric

A cleric is a person who serves as a religious leader or spiritual guide within a faith community. They often perform rituals, provide spiritual counseling, and lead worship services. Clerics may hold different titles depending on their religion, such as priest, pastor, imam, or monk. Their role involves supporting followers' spiritual needs, interpreting religious teachings, and fostering community cohesion. In some contexts, clerics also play a part in ethical decision-making and community service, acting as a bridge between the divine principles of their faith and everyday life.
