Abstract

The fictional community of Avonlea, in the Canadian countryside, allows us to think about several issues that involve the practices of religiosity and sociability in the countryside. The new resident, Anne, adopted by a respected family, the Cuthbert, brings questions about the clashes between the contradictions of the daily life of religiosity in Avonlea, which at the same time open possibilities to think about the social role that the church occupies in the rural communities, as well as its interrelationship with sociability practices. When casting an ethnographic look at the work, it is evident that Anne transforms the community and is transformed by it, because her creativity and reflection bring important questions to think about religiosity in the field from a work consecrated in universal literature.
