Receive current church exercise? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accept

'receive' is the definition.
(I know that accept is a type of receive)

'current church exercise?' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'ac' (alternating current).
'church' becomes 'CE' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'exercise?' becomes 'PT' (Physical Training).
'ac'+'ce'+'pt'='ACCEPT'

(Other definitions for accept that I've seen before include "Reply in the affirmative" , "Receive the gift or agree to comply" , "Put up with" , "one wouldn't say no to this" , "Take what's offered" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
