was watching two female vicars on tv yesterday,i dont get that they wear pretty summer dresses and then stick a dog collar around there neck,i think it looks silly,I M O......maybe a wrist band would look better

I don't understand this circular saw blade around the neck either :ROFLMAO:
But as far as I know it's part of their ecclesiastical attire.
Time to change this.

Real vicars or actors dressed as vicars?
the ones I have seen do not wear "pretty summer dresses" or "a dog collar"
 
In my nonconformist denomination the equivalent of a vicar is called a minister (of the word). They are ordained men and women, including some who are same sex attracted. We also have lay preachers who are not qualified to perform marriages, baptisms or communion services. Very few bother with robes or shawls except for the most formal ceremonies.

It was the same in my Presbyterian world - before I rejected the whole religious thing. Before the C of E accepted ordained female clergy, there were both male and female Presbyterian ministers.

Hubby and I attended a Presbyterian church Sunday service in Athens (year 2000).
The service was in Greek but visitors were supplied with headphones to allow us to hear translations in English. The hymns were all familiar and we sang along softly in English. The attendants were all men dressed in black and building was huge but lacked decorations. It was, to say the least, a very singular experience. Very Calvinistic.

Sydney diocese of the Anglican Church has still not allowed female priests but to the best of my knowledge, the rest of Australia has done so for quite a few years now.

I have never heard the collar worn by male or female priests called a dog collar.
We have both male and female priests in the Anglican Parish I go to and the women do not wear summer dresses.

I haven't either.

I believe different religions have different dress codes and, for some, ordinary clothing on casual occasions are permitted. I think that's a sensible approach in this day and age.

It's a slang term used in my part of the world, nothing offensive. 😊
