My experience growing up in the Black church regarding the question why is white worn when partaking of communion? The answer is wearing white represents holiness and uniformity. In the congregations I was involved the missionary's, minister's wives deaconess or church mothers wore white on the Sunday set aside to receive communion. The vestments wore by the pastor may also be white.Currently, in our congregation the clergy are required to wear clergy collars and black suits.when we partake of the Lord's Supper.
