My family and I are attending a United Reformed Church in California we really like the preaching of the Word of God and the evening worship which the pastor preaches from a section from the Heidelgberg Catechism.
Our pastor wears a black gown or a Genevan Gown.
My question?
What is the history of this gown did it originate in Geneva with Calvin and other Reformers and why is that some gowns are differnt colors other than black is this decided among the pastors of that church.
I know that Martyn Lloyd Jones is wearing one in the front cover of his book "What is an Evangelical" I think thats the title.
The black gown does not bother my wife and I just curious of the history of it.
Thank you Ruben
