The denominational usage in the Methodist church is to call clergymen preachers. In the Congregational and Presbyterian churches it is in accord with denominational usage to call clergymen ministers.
Archbishops of the Catholic church carry the prefix Most Rev.; cardinals, His Eminence; as, His Eminence, James, Cardinal Gibbons.
Invariably the word Rabbi should be placed before the name of a Jewish pastor. It should be written, Rabbi Leo M. Franklin, of the Temple Beth El; never Dr. Leo M. Franklin, rabbi of the Temple Beth El.
Never use indiscriminately the prefix Dr. in the case of a clergyman. Clergymen of any denomination are not entitled to the prefix Dr. unless the degree of Doctor of Divinity has been conferred on them by some recognized college or university.
Write a priest's name, the Rev. Fr. Blank, or Fr. Blank.
