'But at least if there you will have heard the sermon !'

I agree, VBB. Even though it's not the meeting we want, it's a meeting, we've been invited and and HA should be there, even if only to be the 'baddy' in their eyes. It's important we speak, even if we're not listened to. At least then we can say 'we were there but were not heard', rather than 'we weren't there at all.'
