How to refer to Christian priests

Is there a special Japanese term for them (I know ''Christianity'' is ''Kirisuto-kyō'', for instance), or do they use an existing term like ''shou-nin'', or are they just called ''Father'' or ''Reverend'' in English regardless of nationality?

Priest in a Catholic church would be called "Shinpu" (equivalent to "Father"). If you are using this title to refer to/call out to the priest, you would either add this title after the name, or just say "Shinpu-sama," with the respectful name ending after it.

It depends on the sect. The term "Father" is also used for Catholic priets. Anglican priests are called "bokushi (sama)" or "Chaplain."
