As an acolyte, you command the respect of those who share your faith, and you can perform the religious ceremonies of your deity or order.  You and your companions can expect to receive free healing and care at the places at the holy places of your order, though you must provide any required components needed for spells.  Those who share your religion will support you (but only you) at a modest lifestyle.
You might also have ties to a specific holy site dedicated to your faith and you have a residence there.  This could be the temple where you used to serve, if you remain on good terms with it, or a temple where you have found a home.  While you are near your temple, you can call upon the priests for assistance, provided that the assistance you ask for is not hazardous and you remain in good standing with your temple.
