Editing Sermon

The ability to perform sermons is unlocked when you get the [[Perks|Preacher]] perk as part of the story progression. The [[Perks|Preacher]] perk is obtained when you speak to the [[bishop]] on {{Day|Pride}} after having achieved a [[graveyard]] quality of 5 {{Graveyard Rating}} or higher.

To perform a sermon, wait for {{Day|Pride}} until sunrise then go to the [[church]], stand behind the lectern and press the action button (E) to pray, then select the sermon/prayer to perform, a short cutscene will play out showing a reaction of the congregation and giving you an idea of how the sermon went, afterward the members of the congregation will all provide a donation based on your [[Graveyard|Graveyard Rating]] {{Graveyard Rating}} and [[Church|Church Rating]] {{Church Rating}}.

'''Note:''' If you already have performed a service that day, you'll get an error message, saying that you have to wait until next {{Day|Pride}}. This is misleading before sunrise, because then, it says '''next''' {{Day|Pride}} too, but it's actually only waiting for sunrise.

=== Church Influence ===
<blockquote>For the main article on how church ratings work see [[church]].</blockquote>Each sermon you can perform has a {{Church Rating}} requirement to be 100% successful.  You can still perform a sermon in a church below that requirement but it will have a chance to fail.   Your church rating {{Church Rating}} determines how many parishioners will attend your sermon as well as the amount of [[faith]] you will get as a result of your sermon. A successful sermon creates donations at the base rate of <span>3{{Copper Coin}}:1{{Graveyard Rating}}</span>, and will produce faith at a rate of <span>1[[file:faith item.png|22px|link=http://graveyardkeeper.gamepedia.com/File:Faith_item.png]]:5{{Church Rating}}</span>.

===Sermon Topics===
All sermon topics must first be unlocked via various [[technologies]] and then must be crafted at the [[desk]] for use in a sermon. The exception to this is the [[casual prayer]] which is given by default when the [[church]] is first opened.

A '''successful''' sermon provides additional faith and coins specified on the prayer. Otherwise, you'll just get the base results.

===Unimplemented Sermon Icons===
None of these should be seen in-game, though, oddly, the Pray for souls' repose sermon uses grey question mark icon (almost certainly a bug).
