Clerical Wear

I visited African Praise this morning, which manufactures clerical wear. This has changed a great deal in South Africa since I first saw it. Half of it has now adopted colourful African patterns and images. I asked Rev. Jo Tyers where it all began. The African styles were first tried by a self-help project in Grahamstown under Rev. John Stubbs. Then, in 2003, Revs. Trevor and Jo Tyers turned the idea into a now thriving business. OBSERVATION: An uncle of wife E. is to be ordained at Easter, hence the interest in African Praise.
