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.

There are men in UPC churches wearing long hair and skirts (as opposed to kilts)?

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.

In the church that God has allowed me to pastor we are still holing on to truth. Our women don'
t cut their hair , wear make-up or jewelry or pants. there is no TV and such here.
