Not having been to seminary, I don't understand anything about sacred spaces. Must say though that I'm inclined to go with JVo on the need for prayer garments though.Mark Jaffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472415349302170106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35897761.post-51894313541793664082008-06-05T07:08:00.000+03:002008-06-05T07:08:00.000+03:00Pray naked.Pray naked.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043129436872610166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35897761.post-41616694401021302792008-06-04T20:11:00.000+03:002008-06-04T20:11:00.000+03:00I don't wear any particular prayer garments, but I...I don't wear any particular prayer garments, but I can see the validity in them. They sort of tie into the whole 'sacred space' aspect of prayer. If you're not familiar with this, it's basically setting aside a special space where you can focus 100% on prayer/meditation. Attaching meaning to these places can enable a person to better focus on prayer, or even a particular aspect of prayer. This is sort of the way some people see churches... a place where God can hear them better. That's probably the wrong way of looking at it, but they are at least making these spaces sacred and thus may be more readily able to put faith into their prayers while in these 'spaces'. <BR/><BR/>Prayer garments can fit into this ritual as well. By wearing a particular garment that has been labeled as a prayer garment (not necessarily by the manufacturer), a person may feel better suited and more comfortable/focused on prayer. It is just like the posture you maintain while praying. Many people feel the need to bow their head and close their eyes in order to fully focus on prayer. Others may remove their footwear or cover their heads. I think prayer garments fit quite well into this commonplace theology. The danger is to think that one is unable to pray without having a particular garment/posture/space.Monsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349819259688740679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35897761.post-7142257343877915182008-06-04T19:09:00.000+03:002008-06-04T19:09:00.000+03:00My daughter and I were at Berean recently, looking...My daughter and I were at Berean recently, looking for kids' supplies to take to Africa - we ran across the clergy clothing section - oh, and it's really great - our favorite was a black baseball cap with a priestly collar around it - you know, the white, flat knot. So the flat knot was dead center, right above the bill of the hat. I took a picture of Alyssa wearing it, but seem to have lost the pic. I'll post it on my blog sometime.
