When do you use the term reverend instead of pastor?
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.
Are there Reverends in the Catholic church?
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.
How do you address or introduce someone that is a Reverend and also holds a doctorate degree is it Reverend Doctor or Doctor Reverend?
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).
