    Reverend is just another word for pastor/preacher. He was the leader of his church, whichever word people prefer to use.

      He was a reverend, but was he evangelical? Many Baptists are, at least vaguely, but not all.

        The episcopalians use Reverend for their preacher, and they’re like the polar opposites of evangelicals.
