ZOOM WORKSHOP: The Parish as a Place for Lived Religion and Social Interaction

This workshop explores the parish as a social unit and as a place for lived religion during the early modern era. The workshop targets liturgy, devotional practices, emotions, reading cultures, spiritualties and educational practices as expressions of religious life within the Lutheran parish. The local life of the Church as an area of conflict is also an important theme. This workshop, which focuses on the parish, is the first in a series of three workshops. The other two workshops will focus on the realm and the household respectively.
