Seminarian's dinner tonight with our guy with the Big Hat (some folks call it a mitre). PH and I are going - he skipped last year's but understands he has to show up occasionally for these quasi-political events.
So the question du jour is this, argued furiously among several of my classmates when I posed it in ethics this morning: do I wear my lovely and comfortable purple dress? Would that seem too much like I'm angling for a big hat myself, or making fun of his purple shirt or something? Enquiring minds want to know! Somehow I don't think he would feel threatened by a Coldwater Creek stretchy purple schmatta (bought on sale for eighteen bucks), but who knows?

Waiting to hear what you decided to wear...
Ended up wearing my black dress. Call me chicken if you so choose.
Don't blame you a bit. I'd have done the same!
I hope bishops have more important things to worry about than whether postulants wear purple dresses.
Just don't show up for your ordination in purple clericals :)
