In the Catholic Faith, an ordained Priest is called "Reverend"; a
"transient " Deacon (a man studying for the Priesthood) is called "Reverend Mister"; a Permanent Deacon is called "Deacon", a monsignor is called "Reverend Monsignor" or [left over from pre-Vatican II) "Right Reverend Monsignor"; a bishop, Most Reverend"
Someone ordained through the church, ministers, priests, pastors, etc. Most clergy people are ordained. Etymology depicts the word to mean respected. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverend
Yes, from what I've come to understand he is an ordained Reverend, otherwise it would be extremely disrespectful to use such a title and appear in such clercial clothing as he sometimes does. Might I say it is quite easy to become ordained these days.
Reverend John Hale is Related to Reverend Sameul Parris. :)
Reverend Bizarre ended in 2007.

Without the apostrophe, yes; thus: Revd. John Smith. If you're seeing "rev'd" it could be an abbreviated form of "revised" (depending on the context, of course!)
Some Christian denominations use the term, usually Protestant ones such as Lutheran.
The derogatory term would be 'Moonie' (after the person they follow, Reverend Moon) and the more official term would be Unificationist.
There's no such thing in Christianity. Reverend is an archaic term used by some churches to designate someone ordained above a deacon, and a right reverend is an archaic term used to designate higher clerics.

Answer 1: Whenever "Pastor" isn't normative for whatever is the denomination, then you would use whatever alternative term is normative. Most faiths accept "Reverend" but not all use "Pastor." And Roman Catholics use "Father." So, too, though, do Roman Catholics use "Pastor," as do Lutherans and several others.You can usually never go wrong with "Reverend" because even a Roman Catholic priest will usually not correct someone who calls him that... at least not if they're other than Roman Catholic. Lutheran pastors, certainly, are used to being called and referred to as "Reverend," as are most other Christian clergy. Some groups insist that the term "minister" be used. It all just depends.There's no one hard-and-fast rule. To get it absolutely right, each time, you'd need to take the time to learn what each denomination uses, and then act accordingly.
Yes the formal title for all ordained COGIC clergy is Reverend. For example an elder would be formally called "The Reverend" while a Bishop formally will be referred to as "The Right Reverend" when used this replaces the informal title of Elder or Bishop. (i.e. Elder John Smith would formally be The Reverend John Smith and Bishop John Smith would be, The Right Reverend John Smith) Normally, formal titles are reserved for formal events; however, it is up to the Elder or Bishops personal discretion with regards to use. We must note, that a Minister is not considered "Ordained Clergy" within the COGIC. Therefore the title Reverend or Elder will not apply.
The title Reverend supersedes all other titles. You would introduce him as just Reverend ---. If you or the Reverend wishes to emphasize a doctorate degree then you may do so, but be sure to check with the Reverend also. If writing his name, your could write it like the following: Reverend John Doe, D.D. and that would be appropriate (other abbreviated degrees apply there also).
A Catholic Priest would be: On the envelope: The Reverend John Smith In the letter: Reverend Father, or Dear Father Smith The Monsignor would be: On the envelope: The Reverend Monsignor John Smith In the letter: Reverend Monsignor, or Dear Monsignor
Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church, Right Reverend would be an abbot of a monastery, Very Reverend would be a Vicar Forane or Vicar General, Most Reverend would be a Bishop.
Seriously? Wow, yes Reverend Wright is a Christian, if he wasn't, would he be teaching the Bible?
The Reverend was divorced. No references found would indicate he was homosexual.
The abbreviation for reverend is Rev.In the Protestant faiths, a man or woman of the cloth is called Preacher or Reverend before their name, or Pastor.In the Catholic faith, a cleric or priest is called Father or Reverend before the name. Some people use "Reverend Father" before the name to portray their respect for the priest.
