No, Minster, not Minister. Only the one I.

A Minster is a church/cathedral associated (or formerly associated) with a monastry, generally in the North of England.

Personally I quite like the idea of Temples being generally theist, and there being a distinct word for Malkioni worship. I see Jeff disagrees, but that's par for the course.
