Although it is no doubt, according to descriptive practice, acceptable
in the United States to refer to a clergyman as Revd Surname, in the UK
it is a solecism: a clergyman should always be called the Revd
Christian-name Surname, or the Revd Mr [Dr etc] Surname, in the same
way that one would never refer to Sir Surname alone.

Not sure what hell has to do with it; thought you might wish to be
accurate.

There's a word for that sort of accuracy ... pedantry.
