Parish

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Abpfarrung or Auspfarrung is the detachment of a given area of the territory of church and establishment of a new community in the area. This also changes the community membership of the community members living in the area concerned.

The legal requirements for parishes are regulated differently in the various denominations and territorial churches.
