A good reason to get rid of those hideous choir robes...

Disagree...choir robes cause those in misic ministry to look the same, thus taking the congregation's attention away from who is wearing what, to what they are presenting in ministry.
II Chronicles 5:12 states in the KJV that the singers and musicians were "arrayed in white..." In other words, they were uniform...they all looked the same. JMHO

Re: District Puts WPF on Notice
Choir robes are too hot! When you want to praise the Lord with your voice and a dance, you lose your breath real easy and sweat a whole lot. So then afterwards, you go and hang your sweaty robe in a robe closet with other sweaty robes where it will hang until next Sunday night. EEEWWW!
Then, what about the poor Christian that wants to praise the Lord and then as they start, they trip over their robe? Not only that, they are expensive to maintain and I think they are flashy and take away from the ministering that could be happening when people sing.
I don't even like the idea of "uniforms" in a church, but it's not a big deal. Just not my preference.

Robes don't have to be flashy and are not nearly as distracting as what some wear in the choir stand...JMHO...

How do you feel about preachers wearing robes? I know of a UPC pastor who wore one when he preached, a pretty flashy one, at that.

You have to understand that though raised UPCI, I was nearly 24 years in the COOLJC, and preaching robes was a common thing.
My personal opinion is that anything that distracts from ministry is not good. So a flashy robe on a preacher...no...
However, I see nothing wrong with a preacher wearing a robe, if that were his choice.

Thanks for the response, I really didn't know what to think of it at first, since it was something that I wasn't used to - but I could find no good reason NOT to, other than - as you say - IF it detracts from the message.

You didn't ask me, but, if a preacher wants to wear a robe while preaching then I don't see anything wrong with it. Jesus wore a robe when He preached!
