Re: Proposal For New General Conference

(They ship them home for you now if you don't wish to carry them around the conference halls.) General Conference is very expensive and the in-house finance guys have been trying to get them to do it every two years instead of annually, for a long time. I think the "social pull" is a strong reason they wouldn't do something like you're suggesting. But who knows, in a decade, they may be ready for something like that.
You are probably right!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
