Does the organization your church belongs permit culottes on women?
Yes.
I don't know.

Are these culottes the kind that look like a skirt, or the ones that look more like gauchos?
More like gauchos. But gauchos are a little tighter through the seat than culottes, so they're not exactly the same. I've seen some women wear skorts to work outside, which have a skirt flap in the front, but not in the back.
Quote:
I was allowed to wear them in p.e., nowhere else. I've considered getting them for my daughters.
I don't think the UPC has an official position on it, though the WeDeclare folks must. (no bifurcated garments)
Right. That would eliminate culottes and gauchos altogether--even those covered by material to look like a skirt.

They're "bifurcated" garments, thus they must be men's, right?
Well, if they don't "pertain" to the man, then they should be okay for the ladies, right?
I wish we could all see just how silly these things are in the eyes of the rest of Christendom. Christian girls are being held in rape camps because of their faith and we're arguing about the exact placement of the inseam on a garment. Christians are being slaughtered and murdered for their testimony that Jesus Christ is Lord, while we and the "WellIdodeclare.Org!" folks are yammering on about "bifurcated garments."
The whole Apostolic Faith movement seems to have rendered itself useless and irrelevant and the devil didn't even have to lift a finger to get it done. We did it to ourselves.
