Do you know the difference between a rector and a vicar... before you rush off to find out, I'll tell you, though the difference is history now. A Rector owned his church & his rectory, and received the tithes (10th of every parishioers income). A vicar had to go where he was sent and was paid by the bishop, and not very well. Now, as my friendly rector says gloomily, they are all paid "out of the same pot" & it isn't much.

Fascinating Leeroy! Try "Rector"... and yes I do know some univerities have them instead of vice-chancellors. The reverend gentlemen I find are just that... Church Ministers... usually Anglican but not always. I managed not to offend at least one. He is now a dear friend whose wife cooks like an angel. He is the only rector I've ever heard say grace without making it sound as if the food had appeared by magic... He obviously knows which side his bread is buttered :-)

Wisdom... Mmmm. If I happen to know the answer, & I do sometimes... Have fun, yes... when I'm not finding the dying in need of advice... I seem to find them like vicars. (Wherever I go I discover I've been sitting next to one, and they never let on until you've talked for ages & can't remember exactly what you said.)

The word rector ("ruler", from the Latin regere and rector meaning "teacher" in Latin) has a number of different meanings; it is widely used to refer to an academic, religious or political administrator. The word is related to rectrix ("helmsman"), one of a bird's tail feathers.
The term and office of a rector are called a rectorate.
"Rector" is also a surname in English-speaking countries and in some where European languages are spoken.

For the municipality in Almer?a, Spain, see V?car.
In the broadest sense, a vicar (pronounced /?v?k?r/; from the Latin vicarius) is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand"). In this sense, the title is comparable to lieutenant, literally the "place-holder".[1]
Usually the title appears in a number of Christian ecclesiastical contexts, but in the Holy Roman Empire a local representative of the emperor, perhaps an archduke, might equally be styled "vicar".
