'go into the church' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'act obediently' is the wordplay.
'act' becomes 'take' (take is a kind of act).
'obediently' becomes 'orders' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'take'+'orders'='TAKE ORDERS'

'and' acts as a link.
