What does RECTOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A member of the clergy in charge of a parish, or the head of certain schools, colleges, and universities.
In the Church of England and related traditions, a rector is the priest responsible for a parish, historically distinguished from a vicar by an older arrangement over how church income was collected. The same title is used outside religion for the head of certain universities and colleges, particularly in Scotland and continental Europe, where the rector oversees the institution's academic and administrative affairs. Both uses share the sense of someone placed in overall charge of a community, whether spiritual or academic.
