From Canon John Goodchild
Sir, - When the president at holy communion wears the canonical
uniform, as someone ordained, licensed, and under the authority of
the bishop (Synod, 18
July), it is a sign that the worship is not just an expression
of like-minded local enthusiasts doing their own thing, but that
the gathering is part of the greater Church in space and time. In a
pub or café, the symbolism is even more important.
