Prove that from Scripture. There is no evidence that ministers in the NT wore distinctive dress. I agree that a ministers clothing is a circumstance, but once you begin to argue for distinct ecclesiastical dress, then you have to find Biblical warrant for it.
Some say "it's a good idea", but if it really was a good idea then God would have told us about it in His word.
