By Alanah Eriksen UPDATED: 19:24 EST, 7 January 2012 Katy Perry's religious parents have managed to see something positive in the breakdown of their daughter's one year marriage. The pair spoke about their daughter's divorce for the first time - from the pulpit of their evangelical church, which was unusually packed it seems. Pastors Keith and Mary Hudson were seen taking to the stage to speak out about their famous daughter and the audience appeared captivated. The ministers suggested her split with Russell Brand was a gift sent by God - to help them fill churches.
