They might as well just use the sheet in the Twister game…

I think both sets of vestments are proof positive that we should either remove the assignment “design a vestment for your priest with artwork that symbolizes your faith” from all ‘religious education’ curricula, OR we should stop bashing the priests for posing wearing the vestments that their parish’s children have lovingly designed and made for them.
When I taught religious ed, I turned that lesson into designing posters with said symbols.
Actually, the vestment design activity wouldn’t be so horrible if it was used as followup to a lesson on traditional symbols and the meanings of the different vestments. And obviously, the vestment shouldn’t actually be made, just designed on paper.
The first was the worst–I thought it was a painting smock. The second looked like the kids made it for the priest…if they did, and if he only wore it selectively…Aw, come on. I can see that as a good thing. He probably feels like an idiot in that, but a happy idiot.

As someone at that site noted, “Jesus is the goodest person” clinches it for the anglican.
They appear to be fraternal twins.
The first has the worst; there are more Christian symbols on the second.
How did you know my twin brother is an Anglican vicar?

Anglican vicar tries to avoid complete thrashing in competition by turning his back on proceedings.
