Clergy
Clergy is the generic term used to describe the formal religious leadership within a given
religion. The term comes from
Greek κληρος (a lot, that which is assigned by lot (
allotment) or metaphorically, heritage).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. They often deal with life-cycle events such as
childbirth,
baptism,
circumcision,
coming of age ceremonies,
marriage, and death. Clergy of most faiths work both inside and outside formal houses of worship, and can be found working in hospitals, nursing homes,
missions, armies, etc.
