Minister is at one remove, not keeping promises (5)
I believe the answer is:
vicar
'minister' is the definition.
(a religious minister)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vicar that I've seen before include "Member of the clergy" , "Parish clergyman" , "Parish priest" , "Man with a dog collar" , "Goldsmith novel ''The . . . . . of Wakefield'' (5)" .)
