parish, the Catholic Church, the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland, rights, and dutiesAbstract
The Parish is a basic administrative unit of the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland. The research aims to formulate – building on the analysis of the fundamental laws of the Churches in question – a common list of the rights and duties of the parish. One can even say that there is “one Christian parish” which can be seen from a catholic and evangelical perspective.
