A former boyfriend of mine joined a religious order and spent the rest of his life helping people who were terminally ill. I considered it a good 'fit' for him when I learned of what he actually did. His 'function' would have been more in a practical vein, helping with Dr. appointments, running errands, doing housekeeping and laundry, filling pill caddies, etc. I don't picture him as proselytizing the infirm (or their families), he never tried anything along those lines with me when we were dating, despite our obvious different takes on faith even back then.
When I first heard about his career change, I pictured him chanting in a remote monastery and choking on incense. I was confused and puzzled till I found out what he really did. I might even have been a 'vessel' for him to perceive as what is referred to as a 'calling' to go do what he did. I'm not really annoyed with that aspect of it.
I can also imagine he might have dedicated his efforts to the sick in some part due to knowing Brian.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
