But they can serve very well to identify him with
'’is life’s calling. That’s one reason why Episcopal
clergymen wear "backwards” collars.
There s nothing in any rule or law of our Church
which requires a priest or deacon to wear a clerical
collar. Nor is there anything which prescribes the
estments he shall wear as he performs his clerical
duties. Custom and long usage have established these
garments as the "uniform of God's Ministers.”
They serve many purposes. They identify him with
his work. They serve as a common denominator. The
humblest deacon, fresh out of seminary, and the ree
tor of the largest parish are one in service vestments.
iany of the vestments carry forward through the
ears symbolic reminders of Christianity’s great past.
No, clothes don't make the man. It takes years of
-ucation and training to prepare a man to ade
■ lately and faithfully perform his priestly duties.
. hen he has reached that point, we feel that the
c othes help.
