These are the ordained church leaders in the protestant Churches. In the Methodist Church, for example, ordained clergy are called ministers, whilst in the Baptist Church they tend to be called pastors. In the Anglican Church, however, the ordained leaders are names the same as the Roman Catholic Church - deacons, priests and bishops.
