It seems like the parish idea isn't so pervasive in places like Greece or Russia, where there are so many churches and people visit here and there for a service. I could be wrong, but that's the impression I got from going to those places and talking with people from there. I would guess people have something like a home parish, but not like Americans think of one, since our parishes developed out of a different historical and cultural milieu.
