Interim (church)
Interim (Latin for "meanwhile") is the name for a provisional settlement of church or political conditions.
In particular, it is understood to mean three attempts at a preliminary confessional compromise, which were made under the government of Emperor Charles V in Germany between Catholics and Protestants until the decision of a general council , namely:
- the Regensburg Interim (1541)
- the Augsburg Interim (1548)
- the Leipzig Articles (1548), which are polemically referred to as "Leipzig Interim"
