If being DUMB makes me a preacher, I know some Apostle Pauls on this forum.

Ha! I would have to agree with that one!

I always wear a suit with tie on Sunday mornings. My ministers usually wear - "Dressy Casual" on Sunday morning unless they are ministering - which is rare. I ask that all the ladies on the platform wear dresses or skirts.
I do not require my guest singers or musicians to wear a dress.

Most of us wear dressy jeans or dressy casual on Wednesday night.

Here's a response...

I'd rather not introduce someone to a "blue jean pastor" unless he's painting or doing other such labour that requires very casual clothes.

Well it appears we have some different opinions on this thread. Isn't that a surprise? I think the way we dress has something to do with reverence as someone has already said. The Pastor sets the standard. If he slouches in soon everyone will be slouching in...the result being a "slouchy" church.

Yes, the way we dress does have something to do with reverence. The question is, reverence for WHAT?

And just how would you describe a "slouchy" pastor or a "slouchy" church?

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?

Isn't this subject covered in the manual? Everything else seems to be!
