Elijah [N] [E] [H] [S]
Old Testament. Elijah of Tishbe was a lone figure from the remote part of Gilead east of the Jordan. One of the better known characters in the Old Testament, he also made an impact on later Judaism and on the New Testament writers.


The stories of Elijah (known as the Elijah cycle) dominate much of the latter half of 1 Kings (17-19, 21) and the early chapters of 2 Kings (1-2). The chronological order of the cycle is uncertain, making the course of Elijah's life obscure.

http://www.differencebetween.net/miscellaneous/difference-between-preacher-and-pastor/
pastor vs preacher

People of Christian faith are often confused between two of the prominent figures of a congregation ‘“ the pastor and the preacher. Most people use the terms interchangeably, which can be fine for some since some pastors are also preachers. Even church members mistake one with the other and most of the time, they are corrected by the said pastor or preacher.

Preachers, technically, are the ones who proclaim and spread the word of God. They are usually great motivational speakers. Preachers do not necessarily perform pastoral works unless that particular preacher is also a pastor by vocation.


The term pastor is rooted on its meaning or origin as ‘shepherd’. Since shepherd is associated as an overseer of the flock, it is just appropriate that an overseer of a congregation is called a shepherd. Pastors, being shepherds, guide their church members towards salvation. Technically, pastors functions as a physical, spiritual, relational and social administrator of a congregation.

//=== http://www.onlinechristiancolleges.com/faq/what-is-the-difference-between-a-pastor-and-a-priest/

pastor vs. priest


The word priest has its origins in the Greek word presbyteros and the Latin word presbyter. It essentially means elder. It is typically used to describe a pastor or minister who serves in the Catholic or Greek Orthodox traditions.
...
A generally consistent way of looking at it is that a Christian leader tends to be called a priest if he or she serves in an historic Christian tradition that emphasizes liturgical worship, including an emphasis on the celebration of the Eucharist or Mass.
...

While a priest may be called a pastor, in the term’s general sense, most pastors are not called priests, according to Patheos.
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/blackwhiteandgray/2012/01/what%E2%80%99s-the-difference-between-a-pastor-and-a-priest/


...

Priests in the Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions must be male. Catholic priests must be celibate, though Greek Orthodox priests can marry prior to ordination, and Anglican priests, who can be either male or female within the American branches of the tradition, may marry. Protestant pastors are not required to be celibate, but only some Protestant denominations ordain women as pastors.
