The Sociable, the Entertainment and the Bazar: A Discussion of Church Customs (1882)

The Sociable, The Entertainment And The Bazar: A Discussion Of Church Customs is a book written by Alfred Edwards Myers and originally published in 1882. The book is a critical analysis of the customs and practices of the church, particularly with regards to social events such as sociables, entertainments, and bazars. Myers argues that these events, which were often used to raise funds for church activities, were often frivolous and distracted from the more important aspects of church life. He also critiques the commercialization of these events and the ways in which they reinforced class distinctions within the church. The book provides an interesting historical perspective on the role of social events in church life and raises important questions about the relationship between religion and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
