 A more archaic term for a parish in Swedish is "socken", which was used both in the registry and in the church administration.After the municipal reforms in 1862 the latter usage officially was replaced with "församling", a term somewhat meaning "congregation", originally and still used for the Lutheran territorial and nonterritorial congregations in cities and also for other religious congregations.One or several parishes are included in a "pastorat" with a head minister or vicar called "kyrkoherde" (literally "church shepherd") and sometimes other assistant priests called "komminister" (minister).
