In this episode of Ask the Church, we tackle a common but often confusing question: What should I call a member of the clergy? From "Father" to "Parson," "Pastor" and "Minister" to "The Reverend," we explore the historical, theological, and cultural reasons behind various titles—and why sometimes, just using a first name is perfectly fine.

Whether you're new to church life or navigating Anglican tradition, this 5-minute video offers clarity, context, and a touch of humor.
