This is interesting indeed!!! Someone from our church went to a UPC church on Sunday and they said that the women under forty looked just like the women at our church. Only the older ones were "holding on" to the traditions that used to be taught there. Is this common? We have been out for 16 years, so I've kind of lost track.

Happening more, but I think it'd be safe to say it's not the norm (yet).

I think you would still see long hair and skirts (mostly on women) but not any wholesale rejection of style nor an apparant attitude of faux piety as some have assumed.

This is exactly how the church my sister goes to looks like. Those born in the mid to late 60s forward trim their hair and some even wear light makeup. The older crowd sticks to the traditions they were taught. The funny thing is, there isn't any bickering going on over it.

You are correct Ron. We just have to go into the admin control panel to see them.

Some of us never vote on polls.
Thus the numbers are not a true indicator of anything but those polled.
Polls say Americans don't support the current President regarding Prayer.
Polls say Democrats are a shoe-in for 2008.
Polls are many times wrong.

Ok, this leads to the question-
How many voted on each poll?
21 of 23 voted for pants? That is 91% 11 out of 12 is 91.66
Nevermind the math lesson.

I think those numbers show an interesting trend in the UPC and other Apostolic churches. And I think that the changes are happening in some cases in such a subtle way that people aren't even noticing them.
I know that the church I grew up always taught against TV, but now everyone - including the former pastor who still attends there - all have TV's.
I see the change even more clearly when I visit bigger UPC churches. There I see women with light make-up, trimmed hair, highlighted hair, etc., all over the place. These are people who grew up in that church. Not visitors.
And personally, I see all of this as a positive thing.
