Holy Threads
Peacebang lets us know about a woman named Frances who is beginning a business of making women's clergy shirts. I'll see if Frances can send us some photos. . .
I just feel the urge to share my salvation when it comes to women clergy-wear here in Sweden http://www.mariasjodin.com/priest.asp
Unfortunaltely she hasn't put all her designs online (she has some nice dresses too), but they are all beautiful and very comfortable. I have several of the three quarter sleeved one in a jersey material. They cost a fortune but I wear them to pieces.
I think the key thing is to get to know a designer :-) / Jen, a lutheran priest (minister you would say but I quite like using priest in english as well) who went to an episcopal seminary for a year :-)
"I was in school long enough to learn that there are some things you just can't learn in school. After three years of seminary, I'm on my way to my first church, and I'm realizing that there is a gaping hole in my education. I've taken classes in death and dying, church and politics, filling out membership records. But there's one thing no one taught me: For my first day as a pastor, I have no idea what to wear."
- Meredith Gudger Raines, on NPR
