"I'm glad to hear it!  Lovely names."  Beep beep again the second hot chocolate's done.  Mother Dedemos takes a long sip.

"This is really tasty."

"Good."  And then they can go to the choir closet (Mother Dedemos carrying their food and drinks) and Rebecca can pick out a spare jewel-toned robe.  "If you'd like to change in the nursery there's a crib to set Catherine down in."

"Thank you." She will go ahead and change in the nursery. Is there anything for Catherine to wear? She's still soaking wet.

There are several baby-sized fabric things in the room's shelfy wardrobe.  They aren't particularly familiar in their construction but neither are they terribly difficult to figure out how to improve over wet clothes with.  - Oh, and there are some little blankets there in the back.

She'll just swaddle her in a blanket and put a robe on and come out again.

Mother Dedemos has collected a plastic bucket and takes the wet clothes to her office to drip into it.  "Could you use any other help?  There are a few things that are normally done before the service left to do but they aren't as important as making sure you're alright."

"Well, I don't have anywhere to... go... but I can figure that out after the service... um, is this a Catholic church?"

"Separated Reconcilist."

"Is... that a kind of Protestant?"

"It's a kind of Christsian."

"Right, but, what kind of kind of Christian."

". . . Maybe you should just look at our creed."  Mother Dedemos hits a key to wake up her office computer.  The screen lights up to display a digital version of the morning's program.

...sure, she will look at their creed on the magic box.

The Separated Reconcilist Creed, 2011 edition:

We believe in the good will of God the Mother,
     the divinity of the three Christs,
     and the dignity of all thinking beings.

We follow the example of Father Mirkes:
     he who says that to be well is the foundation of the world's health.
We follow the example of Sibling Aurles:
     xe who says that good systems give rise to good people.
We follow the example of Daughter Sernes:
     she who says that decoration, ambition, and delight are holy.

We intend to improve the world through our personal actions,
     our collective strength,
    and the striving of our minds.
We tithe our blood, our time, and our resources to this end,
     knowing we are also of this world.

We pray for temperance but not moderation,
     patience but not apathy,
     and the swift advent of flourishing without suffering.

Amen.

"I'm... not a whatever this is... so perhaps I should just, uh, go somewhere else."

"What do people of your faith believe?"

"Credo in unum Deum,
Patrem omnipoténtem,
factórem cæli et terræ,
visibílium ómnium et invisibílium.
Et in unum Dóminum, Iesum Christum,
Fílium Dei unigénitum,
et ex Patre natum ante ómnia sǽcula.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine, Deum verum de Deo vero,
génitum, non factum, consubstantiálem Patri:
per quem ómnia facta sunt.
Qui propter nos hómines et propter nostram salútem
descéndit de cælis.
Et incarnátus est de Spíritu Sancto
ex María Vírgine, et homo factus est.
Crucifíxus étiam pro nobis sub Póntio Piláto;
passus et sepúltus est,
et resurréxit tértia die, secúndum Scriptúras,
et ascéndit in cælum, sedet ad déxteram Patris.
Et íterum ventúrus est cum glória,
iudicáre vivos et mórtuos,
cuius regni non erit finis.
Et in Spíritum Sanctum, Dóminum et vivificántem:
qui ex Patre Filióque procédit.
Qui cum Patre et Fílio simul adorátur et conglorificátur:
qui locútus est per prophétas.
Et unam, sanctam, cathólicam et apostólicam Ecclésiam.
Confíteor unum baptísma in remissiónem peccatórum.
Et exspécto resurrectiónem mortuórum,
et vitam ventúri sǽculi. Amen."

". . . Ah.  Do you have hallowed ground, in your world?"

"There's like, churches..."

"Do your churches allow people who don't normally share a language to communicate fluently?" asks Mother Dedemos, and it's strange because 'churches' and 'people' don't rhyme in English but they totally just somehow did.

"No? - I don't know the whole thing in English though, just the Latin one."

"In our churches, and other blessèd places, everyone speaks the same language unless they aim not to.  Recitation usually involves aiming not to, so I, ah, didn't actually get any of the meaning behind your creed, although the words themselves were beautiful.  If you could summarize what you know of it in your own words I would expect that to be very helpful."

"Well, there is only one Christ, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, who are all God together as one God maker of all things visible and invisible, and Christ was born of the virgin Mary and then he died for the sins of mankind, and came back alive and ascended to Heaven, and also there is a part in there about baptism being important, and the eternity of the kingdom of Heaven and the resurrection of the dead."

"Ah.

"I'm not sure there are any churches here which believe that.  Specifically."
