“Still waiting for you to tell me why your protestant brothers Angelicans, Lutherans and Presbyterians wear vestments.”

The Bible teaches us to find common ground with people we evangelize

Paul went so far as to claim the altar of an unknown god was basis for him to gain entry into the conversations of the locals

So it might just be that protestants who wear vestments are trying to find common ground to make it easier for catholics to join their flocks

or it might just be that they kept some of the unbiblical traditions from whence they came

If one finds themselves in a septic tank
It is prudent to climb out
That doesn’t mean one doesn’t carry traces of their journey with them
But it is still a more preferable option than submerging one’s self

The reason Angelicans (Episcopalians), Lutherans and Presbyterians wear vestments is because they they made their services to be almost identical to the Catholic Church, especially Lutherans and Episcopalians who like to call themselves Catholic-lite.
