Two Missouri clergy, one UCC and the other my Unitarian Universalist colleague (and frequent commenter here), the Rev. Barbara Gadon. I see one leader and one nice lady. To whom would you hand the bullhorn? Who looks ready to claim moral authority to speak on behalf of the DACA students threatened by the Trump Administration?
The suit conveys formality, respect, readiness to take professional action at the table with people in power. The other outfit conveys comfort and droopiness. We cannot show up looking like we happened to stop by on our way to yoga class. To do so is an expression of privilege and communicates casual engagement no matter how deeply we feel about an issue.
