When AB gets back, we can ask him what the thoughts and intents pertain to his heart when he puts on clothes that differentiate him from those who are not bishops within the organization of men he fellowships.[/QUOTE]
That's the custom among those whom he is fellowshipping so he is just observing protocol. It's like some churches require the man behind the pulpit to have on a necktie and some churches forbid the man behind the pulpit to have on a necktie. I would comply with the local protocol if asked to minister there. I think that is just courtesy. I seldom wear a tie but I put one on to attend a funeral last week. I have been asked to speak at our local church this coming Wednesday night. I will have on jeans (it's not warm enough yet for shorts) and some kind of shirt but no necktie or jacket because that fits within our custom. I've seen one man (not the pastor) in that position who wore a tie and it was OK because that's the way he dresses to go to the church he attends and it was OK (but not the custom) at our church.
