What is another word for rectory?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈɛktəɹˌi] (IPA) 
The word "rectory" typically refers to the residence of a clergyman, particularly a Christian priest or minister. Depending on the tradition or denomination, however, there are several synonyms for this term. For example, some use "parsonage" or "vicarage" to describe the dwelling of a parish leader. Similarly, "manse" is a synonym commonly used in Scottish Presbyterian congregations. Another synonym is "pulpit", although this can refer to the actual podium from which sermons are delivered rather than the living quarters of the clergy. Regardless of the word used, the concept remains the same: a place of residence for those dedicated to serving their respective religious communities.
