I rarely take off my coat, but that is only becuase it isn't necessary for me to do so. I can make my points fairly well with it on.

Interesting...

I'd be interested to hear what some of you would say if a lady preacher (assuming you accept them, if not, don't bother) stepped to the pulpit dressed "casual" by any definition of the word.

See all should wear Robes, then there will be no difference.

When the Southern guys come up and preach our folks are amazed to see the preacher take his coat off when he begins preaching. Heat or cold coat stays on.

Many PAW preachers around here use robes.

Their roots are here and it was a custom to always keep your coat on. A good tradition I think. However we have Southern brethren come and preach with their coat off. My guys smile at me when they pull the preacher pulls his coat off. I tell them don't undress in the pulpit.

Taking a suit jacket off isn't exactly undressing.

I like it when preachers take off their jacket, loosen their tie and pull up their shirt sleeves. Then they can really go to work and PREACH! Hehe.
