Manse
A manse () is a clergy house inhabited by, or formerly inhabited by, a minister of a Christian congregation. Dictionaries define the term as the house of a Christian minister, especially in Scotland or in Presbyterian usage. It is used in Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, and other Nonconformist traditions, and differs in usage from terms such as vicarage and rectory, which are associated with Anglican parish clergy.
The word derives from the Latin mansus, "dwelling", from manere, "to remain", and is cognate with mansion. In older ecclesiastical use, a manse could refer to both a dwelling and land attached to a minister's office; in modern use, it usually means the house itself. In Scotland, children raised in manses by ministers are sometimes described as "sons" or "daughters of the manse", a phrase common in journalism and political commentary about public figures from Presbyterian ministerial households.
