I just think wearing a jean jacket/and shorts!! on one of the most formal days of the year is just not acceptable.

I'm pretty open minded otherwise but I think this is a basic point..

What kind of attire do you think God would prefer we wear?

Thanks for the pics!

But that is NOT a basic point.

Nothing inherently tacky about denim and she looked fine.

(Unless you want to agree with Roger Ebert--remember his hissy fit because he thought Barbara wore jeans to meet the Queen (of E). She didn't but he never apologized.

I can agree in that sense, however, suppose someone can't afford 'nice' clothes but still desires to go to Church on Easter Sunday...what then?

How do you define 'one of the most formal days of the year' - if you define it in a fashion sense, then you are 100% correct but if you define it by the true reasons, then it should not matter how one dresses to go celebrate Easter with other believers.

The bottom line for me is, if a person can help it and has other options then, sure, they should dress as well as they can. It has NOTHING to do with Church though.

God doesn't care how we dress. God wants our hearts and sometimes the only way for people to learn about God is by going to Church.

And it not be accepted by you, means nothing really. We all have our opinions.

I'm not saying go naked or trashy if you can help it! But some people can't help it. Do you accept turning people away from Church that doesn't fit into your dress code?
