AB Priests and prophets are prominent religious functionaries in many religions of the world. Based on their functions, the religious functionaries can be classified into two broad categories, namely, mediators and mediums. Priests are mediators while prophets are me-diums. A mediator is a go-between, a person who mediates between the object of worship and the worshipper. Because of his personal qualities, office, skill and training, the mediator acts as a link in the relationship between man and the spiritual world" E.B. Idowu describes a priest as "a person 'in touch' both ways between the deity worshipped and man: He 'knows' both of them, 'hears' both of them and speaks on behalf of one to the other." A priest can therefore be described as an·intermediary, an intercessor, between man and the spiritual being or beings whom he worships.
