Who can point me in the right direction here?

Is it Father Gunther Emming, Priest of Sigmar in Ubersreik?

Are other prefixes used for other careers? Is a witch hunter an esquire or just "You bastard, this fire is burning my toes!" ?

jh

The WFRPv2 book Tome Of Salvation has a full list of prefixes for different religious stations and situations.

The most commonly used seem to be:

Brother/Sister = Priests or Friars

Father/Mother=Higher level Priests

Holy Father/Mother= The head priest of a temple or similar leader figure.

Sounds too Christian'esque to me.

Fresnel said:

Well, the Sigmarite Church is pretty much modelled after (or should it be "a caricature of"?) the Catholic church, so it's not all that surprising.

Heck, they even cross themselves, except they call it "the sign of the hammer" and touch the throat instead of the forehead.
