[TYPO3] Novice: TCA select box with other column than the 'uid'

Hello,
I just created a few tables for a new extension. I used database relations for some fields in order to relate records from one table to ones of another.
To be clearer:
table 'parish' with fields 'name' and 'website'
table 'church' with fields 'name' and 'parish', this latest field being a link to the parish table.
Now always with the kickstarter extension, I got the tca.php file generated:
$TCA["tx_masscalendar_churches"] = Array (
"columns" => Array (
// stripped
"parish" => Array (
"exclude" => 0,
"label" => "LLL:EXT:mass_calendar/locallang_db.xml:tx_masscalendar_churches.parish",
"config" => Array (
"type" => "select",
"items" => Array(
Array( '', 0 )
),
"foreign_table" => "tx_masscalendar_parishes",
"foreign_table_where" => "AND tx_masscalendar_parishes.pid=###CURRENT_PID### ORDER BY tx_masscalendar_parishes.name",
"size" => 1,
"minitems" => 0,
"maxitems" => 1,
"eval" => "required",
)
),
The problem is that I get a drop down list with parish UID and not its column 'name'. I tried changing the setting 'label' in ext_tables.php but it has no effect on the drop down list.
How should I get this? It's surely trivial but I cannot find it in the documentation. The only thing I find is defining a userFunc to create the list of items, which is, I think, a too complicated way achieving this goal.
Any help?
Thanks
Xavier
