The Parish as a Focal Point for Localism

Faith Communities, Foodsheds, and the Future by Carolyn Baker

What is the relationship of the parish to the political community (assuming that there is one)? Is the parish a part of, or manifestation of the latter? Or is it separate from it? (Or above it?) How does the order of charity play out, especially during a long emergency? Is the parish just a service/charity organization to be used by the state or its "neighbors"?
