(Greek: kleros, lot, portion) A term applied to those separated from the laity, attached in a special manner to Divine service, and capable of administering the rites of the Church. Therefore the word clergy embraces the whole ecclesiastical hierarchy. To be numbered among the clergy one must receive at least first tonsure.
