Katy Perry's Parents

Katy Perry's father and mother spoke at Church On The Rise in Westlake, Ohio this week, saying their daughter's recent divorce from comedian Russell Brand was something God used to get people into the church. Keith and Mary Hudson addressed the issue directly. Keith Hudson told the crowd, "What has taken place in my daughter's life has opened many opportunities to go in and be with guarded and gated people. God has given us a platform to go in and meet people and they like us because we are cool. We are not threatening." They will appear at New Hope International Church in Fort Valley, Georgia this weekend and then at a Florida church this week. The video below promotes the events.
