parochial community
A parochial community is a close-knit, insular group that is often centered around a particular church or religious institution. This community is characterized by strong social bonds, shared beliefs, and a commitment to preserving traditional values and practices. Members often rely on each other for support and guidance, and may be wary of outsiders or unfamiliar ideas. The parochial community plays a significant role in shaping the identity and worldview of its members.
