Picked nose crudely after church (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chosen

'picked' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'nose crudely after church' is the wordplay.
'crudely' is an anagram indicator.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'nose' anagrammed gives 'osen'.
'osen' after 'ch' is 'CHOSEN'.

(Other definitions for chosen that I've seen before include "'''Many are called, but few are ...'' (Bible) (6)'" , "Select" , "part of Asia once" , "Selected, picked" , "If you're one of these few, you're very privileged" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
