As far as checking with her pastor, however, this woman's pastor was also her brother (or brother-in-law), so he wasn't very likely to upset her by differing with her too much or correcting her too often.

Thanks for your post Azred, but I had to pull you up on this, as it's the complete opposite of normal scenarios within Churches. Families of Pastors usually get the strongest clarifying advice. If you love someone, why would you let them walk in what you perceive to be error? A stranger is one who you'de be more careful not to upset.
This is true for everyday. Would you tell a complete stranger advice? How much more advice would you give someone you love? Or if their actions effect you? The brother would have loved the children himself.
