This story is older. So it does have some undesired flaws. Rereading it, I felt that it was pretty hypocritical and selfish for Christian's Mother to drag them to church. Then my Beta, and I tend to agree with him now, that she did so to earn the trust of the people that will be paying her for her services. If she created such a big rift now, in the early stages of her relocation - that she wouldn't have many people coming to her. So she had to sacrifice a little to keep food on the table so to speak.
Although, it wasn't ever explained, but I can see where that would be plausible.
I'm glad you started this story, I hope you continued reading it. Like I said, it is older.. and I needed a better handle on writing, so there are rough spots.
