Denmark
In Denmark a "provst" is the leader of a "provsti", an administrative territorial unit which comprises several parishes (Danish: Sogn). The "Provst" is the immediate superior of the parish priest (Danish: Sognepræst) but wil in the same time usually himself be a parish priest in one of the parishes. In turn, several "provstier" (plural) make up a Diocese (Danish: Stift).
