Lutheranism is one of the largest branches of Protestantism, identifying primarily with the theology of Martin Luther, the 16th-century German monk and Protestant Reformers, reformer whose efforts to reform the theology and practice of the Catholic Church launched the Reformation, Protestant Reformation. The reaction of the government and church authorities to the international spread of his writings, beginning with the ''Ninety-five Theses'', divided Western Christianity.

Parish
A parish is a territorial entity in many Christian denominations, constituting a division within a diocese. A parish is under the pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a priest, often termed a parish priest, who might be assisted by one or more curates, and who operates from a parish church. Historically, a parish often covered the same geographical area as a manor. Its association with the parish church remains paramount. By extension the term ''parish'' refers not only to the territorial entity but to the people of its community or congregation as well as to church property within it. In England this church property was technically in ownership of the parish priest ''ex-officio'', vested in him on his institution to that parish. Etymology and use First attested in English in the late, 13th century, the word ''parish'' comes from the Old French ''paroisse'', in turn from la, paroecia, the latinisation of the grc, παροικία, paroikia, "sojourning in a fo ...

Parishes Of The Church Of Sweden
The Parishes of the Church of Sweden ( sv, Svenska kyrkans församlingar) are subdivisions within the Church of Sweden that historically were called ''socken'' but nowadays are called ''församling''. Similar units were used for municipal (''landskommun'') and cadastral purposes (''jordebokssocknar'' or ''jordregistersocknar'') until the 20th century. After the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century the church also became a state church and as such was charged with administrative tasks like as keeping the civic registry. Parishes were also used as cadastral units (''jordebokssocknar'', later ''jordregistersocknar''), sometimes with slightly different borders. Eventually religious and civil matters became separated in two entities within the same district (in 1863), the religious congregation (''församling'') and the civil parish or rural municipality (''landskommun''). The civil parish handled municipal tasks, but the congregation still retained a significant share of influ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
