EspañolPARISH CHURCH
(Redirected from Parish Church)
A 'parish church', in Christianity, is the church which acts as the religious centre of a parish, the basic administrative unit of episcopal churches. In many parts of the world, especially in rural areas, the parish church is fundamental to the life of the community.
The church building reflects this status, and there is considerable variety in the size and style of parish churches. Many villages in Europe have churches that date back to the Middle Ages, but all periods of architecture are represented.
Church of England parish churches serve all of England.
The Church of Scotland also uses a system of parish churches, covering the whole of Scotland.
