Do you ever wonder what kind of comments come in to <\/em>Pray Tell but don\u2019t get approved? Below a rich example.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dismiss Protestant ministry… accuse Protestants of not being \u201cdeep in history\u201d… \u00a0call them and their theology \u201ctrendy\u201d… throw in \u201cempty head\u201d…\u00a0take a parting shot at \u201cgray-headed old women\u201d…<\/em><\/p>\n

If this is what it means to belong to the One True Church, count me out. Ubi caritas and all that.<\/em><\/p>\n

A comment on the post on clergy stoles<\/a>:<\/p>\n

But does it really matter? This article was in a Methodist publication – none of them are clerics anyway! Let them wear cheesehead hats or foamdomes as well. That said, I\u2019m glad they recognize that the stole is of ancient Christian tradition. To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant after all\u2026<\/p>\n

As to other points, the stole developed from a Roman garment worn by prefects and other officials as a sign of their authority. The related maniple came from an ornamental cloth used to start races, flag people down, and dab sweat from the brow. Our stoles bear that tradition \u2013 they have stayed fairly obvious in their symbolism and usage.<\/p>\n

The use of a \u201cstole\u201d by Protestants is just some trendy way to put their trendy theology on display. Nothing says \u201copen heart empty head\u201d better than something that looks like the color scheme of a print that hung in a McDonalds back in the \u201980s or is made of kinte cloth and draped over a gray-headed old woman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
