Re: Open Letter to the General Board of the UPCI

Swallowing a gnat and straining a camel. Me thinks people forgot Paul's comments when he reminded the church he didn't come with hot air, dressed to the hilt, but he came with the power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost.

I can't wait for the day when underwear is legislated.

I would think that you would not want a distinction. Do you want those in leadership to stick out like a sore thumb or something?


b. Pastors often depart from traditional “church dress” to a casual look of open collar, un-tucked shirt, sport coat and jeans.
Why would this be a problem? Is there really a dress code for the type of clothes a minister should wear when he gets up to preach or teach? AND does anyone really care?

c. Pastors prefer sitting in a chair or behind a table. Generally there is no physical pulpit visible.
Does anyone care if a pulpit is visible or not?


If this is the kind of things they have to worry about they should really thank God and be happy. There are bigger and more pressing problems in the world then this.
