It depends what his post is. Incumbent is the usual word (meaning the holder of a post, omitting what it may be.) For Episcopalians, priest and minister are generic terms for someone qualified and ordained (British "clerk in holy orders.")

Prebendary.

Yes, one could, but one might wonder what the difference was between a "curate" (assistant to a parish priest) and an "assistant curate."

Careful! The term rector has a different meaning in BrEng ... your definition is for AmEng. In Br Eng the difference between a rector and a vicar relates, I believe, to where the source of the funds used to pay their stipend comes from ... tythes and all that!
