Why Does Albert Edward Believe That The Vicar Is The Wrong Person For St. Peter's Congregation?

He has some reservations about the new vicar, but he doesn't exactly believe he is the wrong person. Albert Edward's main problem with the new man is that he interferes too much and wants "a finger in every pie." There is also a class issue; from living among the  wealthy parishioners of St Peter's, Albert has become a bit of a snob; although happily working-class himself, he prefers the local vicar to belong to the same "nice class of people" as most of the congregation. This man, unlike his predecessor, has just come from working in the East End of London, and Albert feels he doesn't quite fit in.

But despite these doubts, Albert is prepared to be tolerant and give his new employer time to learn. This is ironic, of course, as the vicar turns out to be a lot less tolerant than Albert himself, and actually throws him out of his job for not being able to read.
