I believe 'proper' English usage would dictate "Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms Smith" as being correct, or, if we are on friendly terms with our minister, "David" or "Mary" would be appropriate. I personally go with the latter but would go with "Mr Smith" for other clergy that I don't know personally. It seems to me that honorifics have no place in the Church, no matter how much some might enjoy using them. (I believe the title we are to strive for is "unprofitable servant", if we can manage to fulfil our duty).
