bump for later reading...but in the meantime...
1. Isn't it great that one has many choices for style of worship? If I am annoyed by loud music, cheerful Christians rejoicing in their love of the father, or a lack of good old responsive reading, I can go to a number of churches with lots people over 50. (tongue in cheek here, I adore hymns and traditional worship as well. we should mix things up you know.)
2. The focus, whether dress or not, should be on the Lord and not on our adornments, accessories, hair, or any other thing about ourselves. With respect to being well dressed, it does show a measure of respect and reverence for our father's house, but should we create an environment unwelcoming to some?
more to read. that's some thick material. I'm probably in agreement to a point, a bit too much invested emotionally here might be counterproductive.

Hell will be full of well dressed people. Heaven will be full of born again believers who have accepted Jesus Christ as there personal savior and followed His ways. If the believer wore blue jeans and a golf shirt or t-shirt to church, worshiped God with (gasp) keyboards, electric guitars and drums, and listened to Christain rock, well some folks are just going to have to deal,,,,or not. It really doesn't matter if some have a problem with it. Only God matters and you ain't Him.
