If Everything Is Adiaphora, Then This New Blog Is Bad




Bad Vestments is a blog devoted to inappropriate costumes worn while leading worship. I immediately thought of the beach mass photo above, which I found somewhere. I believe it is Anglican. The costumes are set off by a surf board resting on a plastic-covered garbage can - the altar.

According to Safari Leader Timmerman, from Don Patterson's church, almost everything in worship is adiaphora, so people can do whatever they want.

I can imagine the Chicaneries vying for the honor of appearing on The Bad Vestments blog. There might be theme awards given, too:


  1. Most outrageous set design (airport at The CORE, Ski).
  2. Worst coffee brew served during worship (Latte Lutheran Church, Randy Hunter).
  3. Most distracting movie screen.
  4. Best effort at hiding the sacraments.
  5. Loudest snacks served during the service.
