They'd get noticed at a UU church - we'd be admiring their tattoos.

Sometimes I dress up . . . and sometimes I dress down . . . it doesn't matter . . . Christianity is about your heart worshipping Jesus.Evenstar said:Do you 'dress up' for church? Do you wear a dress or if your male wear a suit and tie? Do you think it's important to do so? If you do, what do you think of people that don't? (Please be honest.)
I totally agree!Maize said:I think everyone should dress how they feel is appropriate and comfortable for them and let others do the same without judgement.
Some people just may not be able to afford really nice, fancy clothes.
No. Ours has no dress code at all. Though a member asked me if I would like to buy a dress instead of the dress pants I was wearing. I said I didn't have any money, so they bought it for me... That doesn't really count, though. I wasn't told to leave, and the only reason they thought I might want one was to fit in better...jgallandt said:How many of you have a 'dress code' at your church? If someone showed up in jeans, would they be told to wear something 'more appropriate? And if they refused, would they be asked to leave?
And they did nothing else. That's allthey did. There's a huge difference.But then again, the Pharisees loved to dress up too.

And that is basically what I said. If the importance is on how comfortable you are and what you have n in comparison to everyone around you as you enter the place of worship, then you have pretty much lost the point of worship to begin with. I just say that someone should be in the frame of mind when they worship God, to offer to Him the very best that they have and give the very best of their mind, soul and body when they worship Him.Maize said:I think everyone should dress how they feel is appropriate and comfortable for them and let others do the same without judgement.

Do you honestly think that God would say "EEWRED said:And that is basically what I said. If the importance is on how comfortable you are and what you have n in comparison to everyone around you as you enter the place of worship, then you have pretty much lost the point of worship to begin with.

If someone wore jeans to an LDS Church service, he'd be warmly welcomed. No one would say a thing about his clothing.jgallandt said:How many of you have a 'dress code' at your church?

Hopefully ... although there's always that one guy....Katzpur said:If someone wore jeans to an LDS Church service, he'd be warmly welcomed. No one would say a thing about his clothing.
Yeah, I guess you're right. But I've seen a few people show up in my ward whose dress did not conform to "normally accepted standards," and they were totally accepted.SoyLeche said:Hopefully ... although there's always that one guy....
Same for me and, like someone else said, it's a way of showing respect to not turn up scruffy. About the only thing that actually annoys me is if men wear hats in Church because it's disrespectful. Thankfully I hardly ever see that, but other than that one thing I don't feel I should comment on what another wears. It's good that they turn up whatever they wear.Victor said:I don't really dress up with suit and tie. But I don't go like a bum either.
