Spot knows a biker vicar who wears his leathers under his cassock and just makes sure his boots are polished! Now if I started riding again...I may just consider one! At the moment, even robes (or a batman suit as my family like to call them...long story) would feel too much for me. I think I'll stick to the suit.

As you say, it helps visitors to a church see who the minister is and when undertaking parocial visiting.<br /><br />On a very practical level, robes are a good way of keeping warm in a cold church...it's all about layering!<br /><br />On my placement, the minister there always wore her collar when doing ministerial things - vestry, visits, Mrs Gerbilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16457301688865865815noreply@blogger.com
