On a surprisingly positive note, in addition to telling my parents about ordination, I told them that I'm seeing Jennifer, who isn't a Christian.
Of course they were disappointed, but they were respectful, and asked questions rather than casting judgment. I found that refreshingly encouraging.
I know that they are praying for me, that God would give me wisdom to act in accordance to His image that I carry. My hope is that they don't stop there, though. My hope is that they pray for Jennifer's salvation, something she neither sees necessary nor has interest in.

Lord have Mercy.
