Most of my family stopped talking ti me. Most of my friends stopped talking to me. The few family and friends that remain are "proud" of me leaving my "old life" behind are having issues with my beliefs. Most people im meeting since becoming a pastor seem to like me and have no issue (except for the guy mentioned in the "Honest Question" topic) with me being ordained through ULC. As far as clergy-wear, no i dont. I dress fairly conservative and clean. Im a "come as you are" type of minister. Most people like me for the reason i "look" like them. I mainly have problems from other pastors of different denominations, but they have problems with each other anyway. Basically, most people arent concerned how I was ordained.
