In 3.5 (Greyhawk) How do people in general refer to/address members of the various clergy?
Granted, inside the church hierarchy the clergy have their official ranks & titles they can use to address eachother (which vary according to their deities). But what about their congregations & even followers of other deities (assuming their not opposed to eachother & would otherwise extend a proper courtesy)
So, what, if any names/titles do they go by? Ie, father, brother, pastor etc or are "the people expected to know/use their official church titles/rank?..that seems a bit much to me.
I'm going for a general term of address for any faith..similar to if you see a Catholic priest in line at KFC, you might say "Morning Father" (even if your not Catholic, it's pretty obvious who they are & we all know that's a title they use regardless of our faith). If you happen to see a clergy member at a town hall mtg who looks like clergy but doesn't have the Catholic "look" you might call him pastor or brother or some other term). Ofcourse these are Christian titles, we could just as easily say, Imam or Rabbi as the situation dictates.
Please state the source of you have one.

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer.
A very good starting point without doing tons of research into Gazetteers, Dragon Magazine, and other such publications, would be page 5 of Complete Champion: The D&D Churches.
But even this is very limited, since Greyhawk, specifically, (not Greyhawk: Core) has WAY MORE deities than those in the Player's Handbook.
Another source to start from would be the Greyhawk Wiki. Prepare to do a lot of reading...
