A religious minister is like a teacher or a leader at a school or a church. They help people learn more about their religion, and they also help to guide people in making good choices and living their lives in a positive way based on the teachings of their religion. They often lead prayers, give speeches or sermons, and provide counseling or advise to people who come to them seeking help. Just like different schools have different teachers, different religions have different ministers who teach and lead things in their own way.
