18 THE LIVING CHURCH • July 26, 2015 The Rt. Rev. Paul E. Lambert Bishop Suffragan (and Pro Tem), Diocese of Dallas What he routinely wears with clerical shirt and collar: a wide-brimmed hat Why: “I just wear my hat to keep the sun off my head. This one I bought in Canterbury at the Lambeth Conference. Everybody wants to buy it.” The Very Rev. Tracey Lind Dean of Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland Style: conservative, sometimes dressy Why: “The more radical you are, the more conservative you need to dress. I learned that a long time ago, and I’ve taught that to my colleagues.” The Rev. Emily Hillquist Davis Vicar of St. Thomas Deaf Church, St. Louis What she wears in clergy attire: always a black shirt and full collar (never a tab) Why: “I work with the deaf. People who interpret or sign a lot wear black so that our hands are more visible. And this collar is stronger than a tab collar. If I run away, God yanks on the leash, and I’m like, ‘Okay, I remember, thanks.’” The Rev. Christine Grosh Rector of Trinity Memorial Church, Crete, Nebraska What she looks for in an alb: balance Why: “I want to choose something that is expressive of my own sense of style, but still in the role that is comfortable in my church. I have a small church, so I wouldn’t want to be over the top in terms of too much lace. It would look pretentious.” The Rev. Chris Yaw Rector of St. David’s Church in Southfield, Michigan Founder of ChurchNext, an online learn- ing resource for congregations What he routinely wears to work: a clergy shirt and collar, but not at General Convention this year Why: “I’m on sabbatical. Since I’m here just to kind of meet people, I don’t really need a collar. I think I’ve worn the collar once in three months now because I did a wedding last weekend.” The Rt. Rev. Julio Holguin Bishop of the Dominican Republic What he wears with his collar: a clerical shirt, but not always purple like other bishops. He likes red. Why: “Classically this is a color very common among bishops. The red repre- sents the blood of the martyrs.” The Rt. Rev. Francisco Moreno Bishop of Northern Mexico Presiding Bishop of La Iglesia Anglicana de Mexico What he wears with his clerical shirt and collar: always a suit Why: “It’s a formal way to present myself. It shows respect for the people I serve.” Sr. Ellen Stephen Nun in the Order of St. Helena, North Augusta, South Carolina What she and her sisters wear for special services: a white tunic with a cincture (belt) Why: “The tunic is in the shape of the Cross, the Tau Cross. The front is Called to be Me General Convention gave Salt Lake City a glimpse of every type of clergy fashion, from buttoned-down businesslike to comfortably casual. The range of styles on display made TLC journalists wonder in a playful moment: How do clergy decide what to wear with their standard shirt-and-collar? It turns out some give it quite a bit of thought — and love to talk about it. Photos by Asher Imtiaz • Text by G.
