Returns to themes in Part I to emphasize how difficult it still was in this time of large‐scale political changes to reform the historic parish. ‘Enlightenment’ as achievement is perhaps, therefore, a questionable concept for the period (c.1770–1840). The ‘improvement’ of the Lutheran office, meaning what was beneficial to parishioners and the wider community of citizens, is examined.
Keywords: enlightenment, historic parish, improvement, Lutheran office
