Best Answer

There are several words used, such as pastor, minister, preacher, or in some churches, Reverend.

Anglicans (including Episcopals) and Lutherans also have deacons, deaconesses, vicars, priests and bishops. Each refers to clergy with a different rank and role.

That's like asking "Who is the President of Africa?" (See, Africa is a continent with many nations. Protestant is a category of Christianity, encompassing literally thousands of divisions.) There isn't one.

There is no leader, no authority or control over the churches, no ecclesiastical organization which has more power than another. It is not organized like the Catholic Church.

Protestants recognize Christ as the only ruler of their churches.

It depends on the denomination and context where they are serving. Leaders of individual congregations are called "pastor" or "minister" in most denominations. In the Anglican Communion (Episcopal in the US) they are called Priests instead. Some denominations also have Bishops, but some do not.
