Just making sure you know some things....
3-Liner and Shuffler are not very good in T2. Rescuer's Choice means they won't go for the 3-Liner and will only go for Shuffler when it benefits them (and not you).
3 Unique ECs = Bad idea. I know what you're going for, but Holy Grail or any Territory Convert/pre-block Convert = bad news for you. Get a little more diverse.

Most of the time you'll use Bearing Bad News/Momentum Change and just let them die, yeah, but if you use Balaam's Disobedience then they will live.

does white and grey have any way to deal with sites other than benidictus?

I can def see the application of FioHP in the deck with Consider the Lillies x5

White has Destruction of Babylon but I'm not sure if that's worth including.  Mostly I think that the existence of Nazareth makes a False Peace defense obsolete.

The offense would benefit a whole lot from Faith in Our High Priest.  That card is soooooooooo underrated.

Love the idea of adding Faith in Our High Priest. I just got done building an offense very similar to this one. The Garden Ladies CBN banding is awesome. I am using He Is Risen x5, Consider the Lillies x2 or maybe 3, Benedictus and Blessings x2 at the moment. I also splashed in some Teal with Phinehas, Joshua, Zeal x5 and U&T. I love knowing what is in my opponent's hand. Magnificant is a good card, but not sure how often you will get the chance to play it since it is not an interrupt and most of the white women have fairly large numbers. Initiative is hard to come bye in T2. I would probably put at least 2 Garden Tombs in. Also 5 Consider the Lillies seems like too many. With the new Nazareth site running rampant you won't always be able to search your deck so you would be relying on getting cards from your discard pile. I'm also not sure about the defense. Like I mentioned with the Consider the Lillies, False Peace defenses are not very viable anymore because of Nazareth. I am running a Herod/Egyptian defense that has been working very well. I would take out a holy grail, since its SA can only be used twice in a game. I would also probably take out the hopper lost souls because of the FBTN lost soul. You don't need 2 extra lost souls in your deck. I also think you may want to consider subbing out The Ends of the Earth x2 for Temple Veil x2. Artifact site access is much harder to get rid. If you end up with a mostly NT defense I would probably also consider adding in at least one if not two copies of the new sites: Chorazin, Caesera Philipi, Nazareth and Golgotha. They are basically protect forts on steroids. Also, Herod's Temple needs to be in here.

I dont see Nazareth hurting this deck any. Needs Ethan for magnificat recursion. I would put in 2 TGT and with the benedictus recursion i would add some AoC's. Defense needs Land Disputes.
