The Very Reverend

The Very Reverend (abbreviated as The Very Revd or The Very Rev) is an honorific style given to certain (primarily Western) Christian clergy and ministers.

The definite article "the" should always precede "Reverend" when used before a name (e.g., the Very Rev. John Smith), because "Reverend" is an honorific adjective, not a title.
