Vicar

A vicar is a Christian clergy member who is authorized to lead church services, administer sacraments, and provide spiritual guidance within a parish or congregation. Typically associated with Anglican, Church of England, or similar denominations, a vicar often serves a specific community and may be responsible for pastoral care, religious education, and community outreach. Unlike some clergy who might be itinerant or serve multiple churches, a vicar usually has a stable, ongoing role in a particular church or parish. The position emphasizes leadership, spiritual support, and community involvement within the church.
