Sean Hower (or is that Hower Sean) and others, mostly off-list, have suggested that I use "Position" instead of "Title." However, all of the responses so far have been from the US; so I'm holding off on a decision until I hear from at least one or two non-murkins.

I guess my main hesitation is that "missionary" as an answer is going to get old really really really fast.
