Summary: "Our Churches and Chapels: Their Parsons, Priests, & Congregations" by Atticus is a critical and historical account written in the late 19th century. The work examines various places of worship in Preston, offering insights into the priests, congregations, and architectural characteristics of each institution. Atticus garners a vibrant narrative style that combines humor and critique to engage the reader, suggesting that he aims to illuminate the often-overlooked interplay between religious life and the everyday experiences of the community. The opening of the book establishes a foundational understanding of the need for examining the churches and chapels of Preston, which Atticus argues have been neglected in public discourse. He presents an array of observations regarding the congregation of the Parish Church, noting its varied social representation, and comments on its atmosphere, rituals, and the character of its clergy, particularly focusing on Canon Parr. The author doesn't shy away from critiquing the tendencies of modern priests compared to their predecessors, indicating a decline in geniality and sociability in contemporary religious leaders. This introductory segment sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the diverse religious landscape in the town and hints at a broader critique of society's spiritual and cultural evolution.
