The church I attend, the members dress in their work clothes. They are musicians so their work clothes or "Sunday Best" means making sure the Mohawk is standing tall and the jewelry in ones face is polished.
I don’t dress like they do. I make an effort to wear what anyone who might walk off the street into our church might be wearing. I want them to feel welcome and know we are glad they are there.
Let me add that even with 50 tattoos, you can still love and serve God.

Have you ever been in, say, an IHOP when the "Sunday best" crowd comes in? People stare at them as if they'd just off-loaded from a ship from Mars. And I know what is going through people's heads, as I've been there: "Just wierd. THAT is not for me."
Far from being the witness that Racebannon preaches, traditions such as the wearing of the "Sunday best" tell the world that you have to dress a certain way and go to a certain place and sing certain songs and know secret handshakes before you can meet God.
Sad.
