The Reverend
is an
honorific style

for the names of Christian
clergy
and
ministers
. There are sometimes differences in the way the style is used in different countries and church traditions.
The Reverend
is correctly called a
style
but is often and in some dictionaries called a title, form of address or title of respect.

The style is also sometimes used by leaders in non-Christian religions such as
Judaism
and
Buddhism
