yeah! robes and zippers and the way ministers should dress! lol

Anyway! Getting back on the subject, I think the whole platform crew (men) should wear their ties to where they are only about 4 inches long! lolol

The congregation has plenty to say about it. I wouldn't think of not wearing a tie if I were ministering in a conservative congregation. I try to dress for the situation at hand. Local protocol is important to me. I just think it is respectful.

Talk about a typical stereotype!

By this statement you are implying that no conservative church would imagine the dress code you advocate. Seen it with my own eyes.

NOOOO....i HATE THOSE!!!! lucky our young men DO NOT wear them. they do good to wear a nice shirt and pants. actually, some do wear suits. i have noticed the guys that have a calling to the ministry ALWAYS wear suits. i think that is cool. there are 2 in high school that wear suits EVERY service.

One service night, most all of our young men wore their suits that night...We should've known something was up then... They were snickering and laughing all through out the service. They decided to take off their coats and they had all shortened their ties like majorly! I laughed sooooo hard.... The pastor didn't think it was funny because he that they were disrupting service...and one of the boys was his son! I thought it was funny!!! lolol

I notice too, that young men who are feeling the call to preach will dress in a suit more often than other young men! I think it's cool.!

I think they should all wear a generic robe.It would cut down on all the
money spent on clothes.

Black or Blue Hart suit, white shirt, matching Versace tie and black skin shoes.

Is it only apostolics that won't take your message seriously if you are not wearing a coat and tie??

Robes are dresses...no separation of the sexes and all that.

Think about it.

In a business setting, business dress is meant to exude respect, significance, seriousness.

It is the exact same thing in church.

I remember when getting dressed for church was just as vital a part as the service itself. Everyone wanted to have that same poofy starched look when they took off their jacket...just like the preacher.

Ahhhhh....those were the days.
