My interpretation:
a) {ghin} is a word meaning "a religious community".
b) {ghin} is a word used by a "religious" community.
I do believe that Okrand meant the latter (to clarify that this wasn't just the term used by the clerics of Boreth, or by people who worship monastically by Human standards), but I'd say it's far from being perfectly clear.
