Why do certain people wear funny robes?
The funny robes are called vestments and they help us to ensure that our worship is decent and orderly. By wearing vestments, the gathered assembly is not focused on what suit or dress (be it nice or not) the leaders are wearing. It doesn’t matter how rich or poor a person is, when they serve in worship, they are all clothed the same. Acolytes wear special clothing, choir members do as well, Lay Ministers too, and the priest.
