faith leader

A faith leader is a person who holds a position of religious authority or spiritual guidance within a community—a pastor, rabbi, imam, priest, or similar figure.
The term is deliberately broad, allowing reference to clergy across different traditions without specifying one: Faith leaders from across the city gathered to address the crisis.
