what is a lay administrator ?

Question

John Calvin's father was a lay administrator in the service of the local bishop. what is his job?

Answer 1

In regards to a religious organization, which it sounds like what you are referring to here. The lay portion would indicate that he was a member of the church, but not part of the church organizational structure. Therefore, a lay administrator would indicate that he was likely an administrative liason between the membership of the church and the local bishop.

Best of luck to you!!
