“The Parish Solution”, presents the Parish System as a long-overlooked yet viable solution to the failures of modern governance. Rooted in England’s historical framework, this system once served as a localized model of civil, social, and religious order, integrating spiritual leadership with practical duties like poor relief, infrastructure maintenance, and community oversight. The essay argues that its decline stemmed from the consolidation of state power—particularly through currency control—and from shifting religious and political landscapes that undermined church authority. Ultimately, it champions a return to a parish=based governance model where value, equity, and money are rooted in labor and faith, asserting that only the parish system is equipped to provide unqualified solutions to the problems of a godless system.
