Grace still believes the same doctrine without the strict rules - at Grace, you are expected to use the brain and the conscience that God gave you and make the right choices for yourself and your family. If your choices aren't great, you pay the consequences. If people want to do the right thing, they will. A preacher pounding the pulpit about a split in your skirt......well, it's just not for me.

Very well said and reflects my thoughts exactly.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
