Most priests aren't going to engage in a live demo for a photographer, but the church probably has a printout of rules. But I assume this is a freeby, right? In that case you make your best guess, show up and shoot. Not much that could go wrong here. You will be fairly close, you don't need the bigma. With the range of something like a 24-70 and cropping possibilities, you'll be golden.
