Crossword Genius

Member of the clergy visiting Civic Arena (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vicar

'member of the clergy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'visiting civic arena' is the wordplay.
'visiting' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer 'visits' the inside of the clue).
'VICAR' is hidden in the letters of 'civic arena'.

(Other definitions for vicar that I've seen before include "Parish clergyman" , "Local priest" , "Man with a dog collar" , "Oliver Goldsmith wrote 'The . . . . . of Wakefield'" , "Parish priest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
