Ministerial Dress in the Pulpit

[secretplace]

How should minister's dress in the pulpit?

Is no tie with a suit acceptable on Sunday?

Is a sweater and casual pants acceptable on Wednesday night?

How does the Pastor dress in your church?

Sometimes I wear a shirt and tie and sometimes I wear a crew neck with a jcaket. On Wednesday I rarely, if ever wear a tie and normally not even a jacket. I don't require our ministers to wear a tie either.

I think what's acceptable is what's acceptable for the specific congregation. (minus the dress)

Our Pastor, and all Ministers wear a suit & ties with a white shirt when in the pulpit.

Not saying you sre sinning if you don't but it is just a dress code we have for Ministers to put forth a Professional look.

I agree. (Although I am old fashioned with the suit and tie)

I personally have no problem with a minister dressing as MOW has stated, but I have found in life, business and church - good, clean dress and with a crisp shirt and tie on gets better response most of the time than when I leave the tie off. Of coarse it could just be in our part of the country.

MOW please note I know you are classy in all your dress more so than many that dress with a tie and coat.

Fact is the congregation doesn't usually have much to say about it.

Sunday mornings it is coat and tie 80% of the time, coat 99.9% of the time. Taking coat off during preaching, 99.9% of the time.

Sunday nights, coat and tie maybe 50%, coat 75%.

Wednesday nights no coat and no tie.
