Hats are old hat. What you really need is a papal ombrellino to keep the snow off! Then you could wear a wooly hat under it which no one would notice because they’d all be so impressed by what you were carrying. Or maybe what the server was carrying for you.

Don’t think for a moment, Lay Clerk, that I have not used such a liturgical essential whilst worshipping the Lord in Scotland.
I most certainly have, though not to keep the snow off.

Heaven forfend that I would even consider for a fleeting moment that you had not taken advantage of the full panoply of liturgical sex-aids available!

I do like the biretta when traveling…will be wearing one this weekend in the St. Patrick’s day parade. Just a thought, maybe you should change the name of the site to “What’s on Kelvin’s Head.” Just a thought.

Have been trying desperately to find a Canterbury Cap these last few weeks. Seems no-one makes or sells them anymore!

I shall either default to a skullcap or a biretta, I guess….

I think I saw +Idris sporting one at the TISEC award ceremony.
Maybe he’ll know where to get one.

The entertaining picture of the bishops that is currently on the SEC home page seems to have made it onto Wikipedia. I didn’t put it there either. Three cheers for whoever managed to get them into red vestments for Bishop John’s consecration.
