[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t care one bit.  No one needs to be dressed up to attend church.[/quote]

Why did everyone dress up for church in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s? You don't think that looked much nicer? You don't admire a random good looking family wearing their Sunday best if you see one on a Sunday afternoon? Come on, we all do.

This erosion of effort and appearance and coming to church in casual clothes seems to be a relatively new phenomenon.[/quote]

Is your argument that everything people did in the 40s, 50s, 60s . . . was a good choice?  Segregation?  DDT?  There has been a lot of progress since them.

Sure a family wearing nice clothes on Sunday morning looks nice.  I will give you that.  But I don't think that looking nice is more important than being at church.  I don't think it has anything to do with Jesus.

When my kids were little, they wore nice clothing to church.  Because it worked for us, and they behaved a little better in clothing that was a visual reminder of expectations.  Now they're teens, and sometimes they go to church in athletic clothing because they need to rush to the Special Olympics teams they coach.  It's what works for my particular family in this season of life.
