6. Dress modestly and appropriately.
One of the sad social changes in my opinion, is how people don’t dress for church anymore.
OMG young people nowadays don’t know what Sunday best means, becsse they grew up in a time in which people don’t get dressed up for church.
Tee shirts, flip flops, tennis shorts, tennis shoes, tank tops, baseball caps, blue jeans......that’s what people wear to church.
You said “omg” and then ripped on young people. (Snicker)
Ps.. you were correct
“Tee shirts, flip flops, tennis shorts, tennis shoes, tank tops, baseball caps, blue jeans......that’s what people wear to church.”
I swap my tee shirt and flip flops for a polo shirt and dress sandals ....
Retired in Florida and loving it!

While I agree with your observation about the slob attire worn by many to Sunday services, I am still haunted by a story my maternal Grandmother told me about her young adult years in rural Alabama back during the "Hoover Days". Some poor farmers would not attend church services because they were ashamed they could not afford "Sunday Best" for their families.
I have reached that stage of life where I would rather be comfortable. Summer in the Deep South can go for 6-7 months. I no longer wear my "Monkey Suit" unless it is an occasion that warrants it, e.g. funeral. "Business Casual" is fine by me. Too bad the British tropical attire never caught on in the U.S. I was in Sydney, NSW, AU, during Xmas 1987 and attended service at an Anglican Church with my host family. All the men wore tropical dress. Since I was in Oz because of the World Jamboree, I was attired in my BSA summer uniform and fit right in.
