Most liturgists would not. Very Important Liturgists might.

         God-talkers are holy people who talk to and about the
         deities.  They have a natural closeness to the immortals
         and know how to maintain the sacred lifestyle.  What they
         know, they have learned from the community or, more often,
         from their god.

         Most god-talkers have an additional occupation, and officiate
         only at specific rites during the year.  A god-talker working
         full time at the sacred tasks normally becomes a priest,
         although that us as much a political occupation as it is a
         magical one.

         Priests are full-time workers for the gods.  They are specialized
         and unusual, with high status and many benefits.
