Clerical Men

Clothing conveys a message. A business suit says MONEY! A police uniform says LAW! A tuxedo says WEDDING! Casual clothing says ME! Clericals say CHURCH!

Any of those messages might be valid in different contexts, so you have to make sure you are wearing the right clothes for the occasion. If you wear a business suit in a department store, people will mistake you for the manager. If you wear a tuxedo to a ball game, they won’t ask you to play. If you wear a jogging outfit to a fancy restaurant, your clothing says, “I wandered in here by mistake,” and the staff will treat you accordingly.

Maybe if you are ordained clergy, and you wear a black or grey shirt with a white collar, someone will come up to you and ask, “Father, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” – Mark 10:17.
