Answer: The church has a positive influence on Valerie and her family for a set of reasons.
Explanation: The main reason to determine that there is indeed a positive influence from the church is based on the fact that both parties have learned how to coexist with Valerie's process and her family's. Also, it can be considered that there shouldn't be a turn of influence (to negative) if there is no confict between what the Church's values and what they may be seeking within a specific term.
