Response: I see a lot of people dressing down now a days.

I only wear a suit every once in a while and on special occasions.

i like suits, just dont wear them that often, usually special occassions. If it is nice, I ride my motocyle and wont do that in a suit. Normally I wear nice jeans and a dressier shirt. Some days it is jeans and a t-shirt.

Summer time, I may wear shorts and flip flops.

PG has mentioned in the past, that there is much to be said for the climate and community in his particular local church - but he can expand that if necessary (or correct me).

In my case, I am not yet an ordained minister, and as a congregant, I am not expected to "dress up"; but to com, adn participate, comfortably. As a leader in our church, our "dress policy" is "dress-casual" (dress slacks, and dress shirt, not tie or jacket required) - but that is mostly an assumed-type policy. we don't actually have a specific rule that must be checked of as a law-fulfillment; there is no need for our church to have those kinds of rules.

Since I was speaking at another church, I felt that it was appropriate to wear a suit, even though I knew that there would be nobody there that would even be dressed more than casual (though one lady was wearing a dress) - blue jeans, and casual shirts/blouses - and they are a VERY conservative group.

hope that helps.

Only 25% of the men in America wear suits.....or even own one.
However, the trend is turning back to suits. The casual approach is fine for us but the global impact of our casual attire is beginning to have negative effects.

I wear a suit 11 months ....mostly because my mom tells me I have to. However, In August I have pastor's casual month. We make a big deal out of that,.

I don't mind shorts in church , but I think the flip flop thing is a litlle over the hill. Beach wear should be kept there.

No man has feet nice enough to wear those things to as public a gathering as church. Keep the park in the park.

even if you live on a beach-island, and the church is on that beach-island, and people would look at you like you are from the arctic, if you wore "toed" shoes?

My husband hates for me to wear flip flops in church. Can't stand to hear the noise going up the aisle... plus just how casual it looks. I'm a barefoot country girl and I don't like to wear shoes but I won't go barefoot outside, so flip flops are the next best thing.

I can't stand to see guys in flip flops though, especially with hairy feet. Looks more like fuzzy slippers than flip flops. Yuck!

hope to finally get to meet you in person.

Well, you know that I know about "cultural" stuff.

But here in Tenn. (where people don't think we even own shoes, and don't have all our teeth) it is NOT the culture.

Sorry, just a little bit of annoyance...

Dont' have a problem with women and their shoes....if they wash their feet...lol

Unfortunately, if there is a J2 gathering scheduled (is there a thread for this), I don't have a car, and will have to come and go with a friend.

Last time, the lunches gatherings were within walking distance of the center formerly called Gaylord.

For the matter of this thread, I may be dressing up a bit more. I just had 4 suits given to me. A certain kicker that is now in St Louis didnt want to pack all his clothes and we happen to be close to the same size. Too bad my leg doesnt work as well as his.

[soulsearcher]

RP, you look great either way, bro! Maybe the reason we can't see a flag is because the cross is so dominate.

And I, too, look forward to meeting you and all of my other Jude2 family attending the G.A. (or, I believe it is the "I.A." now).

[MacUser]

Dress down everyone! I'm not saying don't look nice ( and you KNOW the difference ).. but I'm so proud the days of wearing suits is OVER.
