But, you seem to only think it's a conservative's problem. I don't get that.

I'm not sure what this has to do with dressing nice?

Read ILG's post...

This casual look that the Charismatics are pushing looking like they are going to golf rather than to church turns me off. It is as false as they are. Like the presidental canidates running around with flannel shirts and jeans driving a pickup and eating at Wendy's and don't know how to order. It is all an act.

I am confused.

I thought conservative Apostolic women were blue denim whales who are always slopped out in jean skirts and Keds tennis shoes.

Which is it?

I guess it just depends on which tactic the critics want to use on a given day to try and take shots at Apostolic churches.

And this is a sin be it in a UC church, a less UC church, a conservative-liberal church, a moderately liberal church or grossly liberal church.....OF ANY KIND!

There is NO making them happy. Jean skirts like whales or a nice dress from Goodwill and shoes that actually match. It is the separation they hate not the so-called issues they fuss about.

In my area, hardly anyone really dresses up for church anymore. Our UPC church, never dresses really nice. A few may wear a suit on Sunday morning. The platform dress has no standard as far as hose, sandals, etc.

The other churches in town don't dress nice either. It's pretty much the same a few wear suits to church. Most of the ladies in other churches wear pants to church.

I didn't know people still dress up for church. When I was growing up, our Sunday services were like a competition to see who could dress the best.
