Ha! I used to think it was a really big deal having and enforcing a "platform standard." It realy all depends on a person's view of the church service etc. Some think the service deserves our best including the clothes we wear to it out of respect. Others want to display a "business" decorum. Still others take a "laid back" because society is more laid back today approach.
I used to make and try to enforce a myriad of rules. Bro. Kilgore said once and I have never forgotten it, "Don't make so many rules that you spend all of your time trying to enforce them." That makes a lot of sense to me. Sin is not acceptable in any form and modesty should be the norm, but there certainly is a lot of leeway when it comes to how we cloth ourselves in church.
If we want to be a church with diversity, we must be willing to accept diversity. NLC is such a church. We are a very mixed congregation both racially, gender, age wise and socio-economic. I guess I want my platform to reflect the kinds of people I want to draw and will feel accepted.
I'm not saying everyone else has to do it that way. That is just my approach.
