I guess my dad, as conservative as he was, must have been a one of a kind conservative because when he went to Duncan, OK to pastor in 1972 there was a young man whose family attended the church who wore a full (being interpreted VERY full) beard. He was VERY red headed (what he had left at 20) and could forever more make that big red bodied Gibson talk a la Chet Atkins. Under the previous pastor he had been relegated to the back pew as a rebel. Under my dad's pastorate he was openly fellowshipped and allowed to play his gitfiddle right behind his sister who played the piano. !
WOW. Do some churches have seating assignments too??
But, the new auditoriums allow for very few "bad seats", and the front seats are no longer always the "best Seats" in the house....
You are obviously in a non-traditional sanctuary... only the progressive and highly successful have those confounded fan shaped outfits that makes it too easy for the preacher to spit to the back pew as evidence of his anointing.
