Question for any Presbyterian ministers or those in the know.

[macwilkin]

Indeed, I have a couple. depending on the the function and the formality. Somewhere I have a listing on that the colors mean, but many these days are rainbow or multi hued.

My Senior Minister almost never wears a stole, when he does he prefers a pure white one. Another friend prefers one that her mother made her, a deep red with golden embroidery. My preferred stole is one I got from a mission in Guatemala, it is purple with gold and red and white threads.

I love the one that is tartan that Rev. Judy Hay is wearing!

When I was a Presbyterian, ministers wore stoles in the colour corresponding with the church calendar

Green: Ordinary Time/Trintytide
Purple: Advent/Lent
Red: Pentecost
White: Eastertide, Christmastide
