LOL... What was his reply.....?? Enquiring minds need to know!
Father wore our nice rose-pink chasuble this morning, but I didn't hear any comments as to its significance...

quote:AFAIK everyone wears their usual black cassocks, aside from those outlets where they put the servers in red. Normally, rose sets are given by people as memorials or for other reasons, so parishes generally don't worry about the admitted extravagance. I suppose you could amortize the cost over a century, rather than by a decade or two as one does with the usual range of colours. Some vestments, remounted, have been in use for almost 300 years.

We don't have a rose set, and it really would be hard to justify the cost for such little use. What colour cassocks do the assistants wear? Should explain: by assistants, we mean those who asset in the distribution, not the servers, who are the crucifer and light bearers, and who prepare the ciboria and chalices.
quote:I know of few parishes which would not prefer the money for more general use. Donors, however, sometimes have their own ideas and can be fairly firm in their views. I have sat in on some splendid conversations in my time. If the Divine Will wants rose vestments at that altar, it will have them.

Thank you Augustine. The assistants wear purple cassocks for Advent and Lent, rather than black; servers wear white albs.
The cost of a set of vestments would be extreme and I suspect that the Parish would prefer the money for more general use. *snip*
quote:We have a purple high mass set, but not rose (we do have a rose chasbule). We've recently acquired a deacon, and i wondered about what to do with this, so i stuck with purple.

) and yet there is a specific ban on a particular type of robe.
quote:Very slightly west to Sydney Town, I once attended a service at the cathedral there. In pew in front of me was a young couple who really needed to be told to get a room somewhere. Very distracting it was too. However, when sermon time came, this young recent graduate from you can guess where was the preacher. He had a very garish Hawaiian shirt so I suppose that could have covered most liturgical colours. I was amazed after the display I could not help seeing and also amazed by the place of the sermon in the service. Apparently done to accommodate broadcast times.

Board shorts, ok, but I doubt most recent Moore grads even know what the liturgically correct colours are. I'm not particularly fussed if they want to do the what you wear doesn't matter & I'm so culturally relevant and cool that i wear boardies to preach, just mildly amused that that's fine but they ban certain attire at the same time as announcing that it doesn't matter what you wear.

If you mean members of the Moore College clique, usually not when taking a service - suit is the best you could hope for. Remember that it's near impossible for a person who dod not have some education at Moore College to get an appointment in Sydney, even if they're only there for 6 months. So to talk of graduates as if they an an homogenous group is potentially misleading.
quote:I have a vague memory of reading that the 17th Lancers (or was it Hussars??) who wore pink trousers in post-Napoleonic times. It is unfortunate that rose was never adopted for use in tropical climates by British forces. Not only would it have been practical, but it would have been a rare gesture of homage to Our Lady by imperial forces.

Of course "pink" is a traditional colour for men as it is a version of red and therefore Strong! (only got diverted to females early/mid last century)
quote:Thanks for the plug, Gee D: anyone interested in seeing a chasuble (or dalmatic/tunicle) worn at an Anglican service in Sydney can see them at the sermons we have up on YouTube - just search for Sermons Community of Our Lady. The closest we've come so far to a rose chasuble is that worn by our visiting preacher last week - the Revd. Robert Clark from MCC Good Shepherd.
