Dear Rev Gabrielle: I was touched by your answer and the anxiety you are feeling. Your wish to serve others is the foundation of your ministry. If Jesus is your model remember that he too suffered ridicule for departing from the established religion. Find people who need care and spiritual comfort and you will be on your path, which for all of us is a path of learning and discovery--our own spiritual journey. Sustain yourself with contact with your own spiritual guides--meditation, reading, quiet walks in nature, or counsel from a trusted source and you will be less concerned about vestments, chalices, etc. You are your most important tool. Namaste Rev. Jill DeCou
