We are not bringing the young lady to America in order to convert her to our faith. Part of the program, as I understand it, is for them to see our way of life. Church is a huge part of our life. To participate with us is expected. That being said, if she is uncomfortable we would not force her. I don't want her to hate her experience here. There is a Peace Pagoda being constructed here in Cocke County. I don't know a great deal about it, but evidently it is a Buddhist operation. If she has a desire to attend services, perhaps that can be accommodated.
