Well, the only one other than Orthodox, most Episcopal or Anglican churches, and a few other denominations (Coptic, etc.). Generally, any Christian denomination that has a sacrifical mass or its equivalent uses the term priest (plus Anglican's, who aren't into trans.). Some of the Western protestant churches still use the term, but most rejected it as part of rejecting transubstantion.
The term also gets used in a lot of non-Christian religions, like Shinto Priests, but I suspect that's a translation issue more than anything else. And I suspect your husband wouldn't listen to a Shinto Priest in a Church.
