"I love my daughter and I will always love her. Stop being judgmental and critical. Do not close the doors to your loved ones, especially your children.
"Just because they do not like what you do or what you are, they are still praying that you stay in the race. They are counting on you.
"I believe in God, for every one of my children."
He told worshippers their daughter's success had given them access to Hollywood stars. "God has given us a platform to go in and meet people ? and they like us because we are cool," he said.
Perry was raised a devout Christian in Santa Barbara, California, and listened only to gospel music, but is now famed for her racy outfits.
Brand has said he feared "disaster" when he met Perry's parents in 2009 but won them over by quoting Nelson Mandela.
''Obviously when I heard that my girlfriend had preacher parents, I thought, 'well, this has got a huge scope for disaster' but it's actually been quite good so far.
''They love the old school Englishness. There's a thing where the mom said 'Nothing's impossible', and I went, 'well, of course, Nelson Mandela said that everything is impossible until it's done', and she went, 'Oh', and she really enjoyed that.''
But the I Kissed a Girl singer has previously spoken of her discomfort at Brand's offensive jokes.
"Russell has made very blasphemous jokes in the past, but he's making fewer all the time because he knows that I am very sensitive about this subject," she said.
"You can be frivolous and fun without needing to get involved in that. And I don't know why that only happens to the Christian religion. For me, spirituality is something very important and I don't like it when people take it lightly."
It is reported that Perry asked Brand to file their court papers, citing irreconcilable differences, to avoid upsetting her parents who are opposed to divorce.
