[Magdalen] Brightest and Best - The Epiphany, January 6, 2016.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

...well depending on what part of the USA you were in say 20 years ago chasubles were a non-starter. Too "Roman". A lot has changed in/around our denomination with vestments since the 1990s. At individual churches and/or specific dioceses there is still a prevailing understanding of what is meet and right  (tongue in cheek). The always-did-it-that-way ethos runs deep as if it were part of the Canon. LOL. And watch out for altar guild ladies on the job for more than ten years...woe be to anyone that gets tangled in their path of understanding <GDR>. I have, and survived for the next new encounter. ; )

I get the impression from here and there that Anglocatholic parishes 
with Solemn High Mass Liturgies did not traditionally have a complete
green set.  They would get along with a green chasuble, but no  green
dalmatic and tunicle.  Also, bishops tended to wear a plain  white
mitre and uncolored cope during the green seasons rather than the
green cope and mitre one now sees.  I know that +Eau Claire, for
instance, didn't have a green mitre or cope.

I guess vestments have become more color coordinated these days.
