[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Certain groups of people have "nice" clothes and are fine wearing them to church.

Maybe church leaders figured out there are lots of other people who either don't always have freshly laundered nice clothes, [b]struggle with depression[/b] and it's an effort to just throw something on, or groups who aren't comfortable wearing "nice" clothes, but attend church much more often if they can be comfortable.

It was probably a wise decision to ease up on the dress expectations and welcome everyone to come as you are. More people in the pews to hear the preaching and not to mention, more offerings.

My friend attends an evangelical church with a band. Last week I checked the livestream to see if they were done and one guitar guy was wearing shorts, t-shirt and flipflops. No one seemed to mind, so I don't think God did either.[/quote]

I have MDD and so do lots of my family members. Turns out people have struggled with depression for a very long time. Guess what? Until the modern era, they still put on presentable clothing just to go grocery shopping. And definitely to go to church.

People with depression are not compelled to dress like slobs. It's a copout.[/quote]
