Do ministers have to wear suits to church?

[StMark]

I don't mind wearing a suit and tie on Sunday but I do wished we would relax it on wednesday.The platform is required to wear a tie always.

I think that in the day we live in, being dressed up to the nines actually intimidates a lot of people


and i HATE dressing up in the summer, suit and tie and jakcet- way to hot for all that

I would love to sometimes lol
as i said i don't mind on sunday but i hate changing twice on sunday
and really, WHY do we have to be suited up with a neck tie choking us when it's 120 degrees outside??? what is the point to that?

Suits are not necessary. A sharp appearance wiothoput a necktie is possible. I believe it is respectful to look sharp and distinguished, but a necktie and two-piece suit is not necessary to achieve that appearance. Anything wrong with it? No. It's just not essential. After a while we can make neckties and suits as much a "robe" of religion as the clerical collar is!

That bolded part can be true, but on the flip side there are some who have made Church into nothing more than coffee & chit chat around the coffee table.

What's wrong with that?

What is the New Testament guide for how to have church?

Even though I disagree with your reasoning, I give you room to do what you feel is right.

What I'd like to have is the ability to do what I feel is right without being labeled as "liberal".
