It is a legitimate obligation.
They didn't say no to personally insult you. It seems as if you are taking it that way. For some people, their faith is a good part of what makes them the kind of people you would get along with. If you can't honor their faith or their religion, consider that this at least is worthy of respect.
How would you feel if they were on a forum complaining that you could not meet them, because you ''had'' to spend time with your children. Couldn't you skip that ? I sense a double standard here.

Mr. Dudley,
That's the stuff I am looking for. I am really trying to understand due to their tight schedule and their priorities. I have given up time with my kids to meet with clients and I am perfectly OK with that and have done it many times. Thanks to you, I learn something new. Never knew about the whole coffee, greeter thing and the commitment to church. Now I know. Remember, you are talking to a guy who's never stepped one foot in a church parking lot and know nothing about why they do what they do.
BTW, I am not offended, but I see some impossibility to only have a 4 hour window weekly to meet, discuss and make decisions on a pretty complex project that needed to be completed in 2 months. They made it clear that's their only time to meet for the week.
