 Historically, the title is also found among Military chaplains, both Roman Catholic and Protestant ("e.g., Feldpropst" in Prussia).The Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Northern Germany uses the title "Propst"for pastors who are the leaders of a church district ("Propstei").In England, the title of provost in cathedrals was almost completely replaced by that of dean, although sometimes when a bishop nominated himself as dean of his own cathedral, a provost was appointed as his deputy.
