No, Jim, we're not referred to as Reverend. When we're being really formal (rare), we can be called Elder Tammeus (well, I can be called that). Mostly I'm just Bill. In the United Methodist Church, however, people with the title elder are, in fact, ordained pastors and are called Reverend. Also note that in the PCUSA, elders and deacons, both elected offices, take the very same ordination vows that people being ordained to the role of pastor take, with one exception: The latter take a vow that has to do with their job of presiding at the two sacraments of baptism and Holy Communion. Elders and deacons, except in rare cases, do not preside at those sacraments.
