Why do we not use clerical collars? If you do, tell us when, where, why.If not, why?

For those who have a quick temper, it might be the thing that makes one think twice before berating a cook or a clerk who is at least working for a living instead of drawing welfare. Knowing that you are BRANDED! I have known preachers make a fool of themselves in sports clothes 'chewing out a fast food guy for being slow, and most folk did not know he was a preacher.

Dude! I was so going to get one after attending my first Earl Paulk conference back in the 80's. But it was all a bit weird.You know, if a clerical collar is associated with celibacy, Earl Paul sure cleared that up. The 80's? This is a new season!!

Re: Why do we not use clerical collars?

Wow, what a revelatory moment indeed in the 80's when you became keenly aware that the existence of commonality was zilch between Archbishop Pearly Paulk and the collar of celibacy.

I have/wear the "tab" collar ...

I have/wear the tab collar from time to time - like at weddings where the wedding party is all dressed up (tux, etc), I think the minister should represent the church well and not look like a wedding guest in just a suit and tie.The collar is great for civic events when the clergy needs to be recognized, and in emergency situations it gets you into places (hospitals, accidents, crime scenes, etc) with a lot less explaining of who you are. The collar is respected on the streets by gang members and police alike.The collar has its place and for people from more formal church backgrounds it is very much a part of their religious identity.It is not a sign of authority, that would be the sash worn when in full regalia.

What he said. True, having learned it in a military environment. Lot of respect to the chaplain Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]://shipslog-jack.blogspot.com/
