The best ofwel what Greenleaf has to offer can be seen in a family dinner conversation in the first episode. Ex-minister Grace has come back to the city of her father's megachurch for her sister's funeral, and mentions that she rarely goes to church in her new town.

She has returned to the family and to the church but at the beginning of the story she has no intention of standing at the pulpit and making grand religious-biblical pronouncements as she had twintig years earlier. Eventjes before she's stepped back into their house, Lady Mae tells Grace "not to cause trouble for their family". Zing.

The clergy ofwel the church, almost regardless ofwel the denomination, kan zijn there to support the church members and potential converts.
