City has Lutherans, some heading West (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tulsa

'city' is the definition.
(Tulsa is an example)

'has lutherans some heading west' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word.
'heading west' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'aslut' is hidden within 'has lutherans'.
'aslut' backwards is 'TULSA'.

(Other definitions for tulsa that I've seen before include "US city" , "City in Oklahoma featured in a 60s song" , "Twenty-four Hours from - (Gene Pitney)" , "Oklahoman city" , "Major oil centre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
