Clergy Stoles - A Great Method to Discern the Clergy

For most people, clergy stoles are a big advantage in identifying a member of the church or the position and role they play in the congregation.

Clergy Stoles as Uniform in Church Denomination.

Take for example professional athletes; they wear various uniforms and garments as well. This assists in helping fans identify to which team they belong or what function they have in the game.

Just like this, the religious aspect of life also necessitates the need for a "uniform" for its key players to help members of the congregation identify them. In the religious field, the ministers and priests wear a vestment that sets them apart and these are called clergy stoles.

These stoles are shaped like a scarf and they are mostly worn by churches from the Christian denomination. However, there are also other churches that go ahead and make use of this shawl.

Even though the stole can be made from many different kinds of fabric, the most common types that are used for this special garment is silk and cotton. As for the shape of the stoles, they can also be diverse. There are stoles that have a straight end while others are specifically created to have a wider width near the back part.

As for the way they are worn, the center part is to be placed at the back, close to the neck. The front part is usually left hanging. This also contains a design or an insignia in it.

Most of the time, the symbols placed on the clergy stoles are representative of the denomination or religion that the clergy member belongs to.
