Titus2woman on AFF
"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."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

No.
My point is that he’s being highly critical about a problem he believes he sees. However, he offers no solutions. The goal should always be a “win/win” solution among brethren. It’s obvious that many are struggling between what standards to maintain and remain relevant to a world that has deeper problems than their sleeve length or music styles used in the church.
The author doesn’t outline and call us to embrace those essentials that we shouldn’t compromise while also outlining how we can be relevant to the modern world.
All he does is complain with a little rant and mention someone he disagrees with by name.
While I still hold to some dress standards for the sake of modesty, I’m not afraid of using technology or different music styles.

Well, if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.

You know…that’s not only very funny…but it has deep implications.
The love of tradition for tradition’s sake can seriously hinder us from reaching a world that is looking for a real experience with God.
