Why wouldn't you wear jeans and a T-shirt in public?

Re: Wearing a Suit and a Tie

I grew up in the "dress to the nines" era of church going! However, now with society being more relaxed (right or wrong), I think the church needs to be cognizant of that too.

If the church is just a country club of members, then sure, require everyone to dress in suits/ties. If you want to reach the lost people of this world - - relax a little!

Re: Wearing a Suit and a Tie

I have seen 5 year old boys in suits and tie.
That's absurd if you ask me....

Just too casual for me... doesn't feel appropriate... has nothing to do with church or being a Christian, just seems way too relaxed to me, I wasn't brought up to be casual in public... casual is for behind doors for me.

So, what do you wear when you go to the grocery store?

Gotcha. Can't argue with preference!

I'm quite the opposite, I'm much more comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt than in a suit and tie these days.
