Cleric with a crook? (6)

I believe the answer is:

bishop

(Other definitions for bishop that I've seen before include "that, moving, must abandon his rank" , "Chess piece and senior religious person" , "Chess piece and one of the clergy" , "Diocesan" , "He wields the crosier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
