Wednesday nights no coat and no tie.

I'm glad you said this cause now I know if ever come preach for you,I can take my coat off.

I will dress up with the suit when I do preach in a church. But, 99% of the time, I am preaching on the street corner, so it is a dress shirt and jeans when this is going on.

As to the adaptation, I like to think that most of our adaptation has been ascendant as in ascending to a higher plane or a more beneficial or respectable position, yes, even to the point of being set apart by the level of that adaptation. I am opposed to descendant adaption where we settle in at the level of the lowest common denominator of our society. This is true about me in both my professional life and my ministry. I am still accused of being locked into the IBM big blue of yesterday because I feel more comfortable in a coat and tie on a sales call than in an open necked shirt and slacks. As much as I love my dogs (all five of them) I would never feel it was appropriate for them to sleep under my desk in the office or to accompany me on a sales call. That is an adaptation i will not make!

Sir,I respectfully disagree. I would much rather someone who is also fat make fun of me than some bean pole who has no clue.

As to the other portion, I can accept your position.
