..this is an excellent post and great reminder of the high calling of men to public ministry and the weighty responsibility that goes with it. I’m of the view that our outward actions in general, reflect our spiritual and theological convictions. Kneeling in church during prayer for example is reflective of a conviction that Christ is present with us in worship and of submission to Him as Sovereign Lord and Saviour. Likewise, the wearing of a clerical collar and distinctive attire denotes the conviction that a man is a slave to and has received his high calling to public ministry from Christ and deemed to be qualified by the church. The post also sets out with great clarity the slide that has taken place in public life and the extent to which we have strayed as a nation and the urgent need for repentance both in the church and out.
To be clear, neither I nor Josh wear a clerical collar. I do know men who do (my colleagues in Cochrane and FSJ) and would not be opposed to wearing one.
