Church

Churches figure prominently in To Kill a Mockingbird. Churches were the gathering place for all the citizens of Maycomb.

The ladies missionary circle came to visit Aunt Alexandra and the ladies discussed the missionary Mr. Everett who worked with the Mrunas. What other mentions of churches were there in the book? Why do you think churches and their congregants were featured in the book?
