英国国教神父能否穿牛仔裤主持仪式

  LONDON (Reuters) - The Church of England's governing body on Wednesday threw out proposals to change its strict dress code for clergy. The changes would have allowed vicars to carry out certain church duties in jeans and T-shirts. Modernizers felt Anglican priests would be more effective if they appeared in less formal attire. But bishops and clergy in the church's General Synod gave a resounding thumbs down to proposals to amend church law to allow ministers to dress more casually.

  "It was thought to be a minority issue. Not many were in favor of it to start with," a Church of England spokesman explained "There are fairly strong views on both sides. There are those who feel that wearing a special uniform, robes and so on, acts as a barrier between those exercising a sacred ministry and those to whom they wish to minister," the spokesman said. "The contrary view is that it's handy to have a uniform because it's actually quite useful to know who's doing what."

英国国教神父能否穿牛仔裤主持仪式

  伦敦:本周三,英国国教的管理机构拒绝了要对神职人员严格的着装规定加以变革的建议。如果建议被接受,这些变革就会允许教区神父穿着牛仔裤和T恤主持教堂的某些仪式。主张现代化的人士觉得英国国教的神父若是以不太正式的装束出现在人们面前,其工作会更有效果。但是参加最高教会会议的主教以及神职人员坚决反对为了让神父们穿着更随意而修订教会法规。

  “大会认为这是少数人的事,并没有多少人愿意开始改革。”一位英国国教的发言人说道,“双方的观点都很强硬,有人认为穿着专门的服装--长袍及饰物等所起的作用就是在那些履行神父之职的人与他们想为之服务的人们之间形成了一种障碍。”该发言人说道,“相反的观点认为,穿正式服装会带来方便,因为这对于知道谁正在干什么确实很有用。”
