So would you agree the Clergy hanging out in the local Strip Clubs? or a crack house? Clergy must not compromise there respectability for GOD and his church by attending establishments that condone sinful behaviour....
The lost can be reached through other means...
Isn't the most important thing clergy can do is save lost souls? Maybe that involves getting their hands dirty by hanging out in the bad part of town. IIRC, Jesus hung out with lowlifes, too (heck, some of the Apostles were lowlifes before they met Him).
If a clergyman could convince the denizens of a crack house to change their ways and find religion, isn't that a good thing?
I don't think God would consider it disrespectful for a clergyman to hang out in sinful establishments if the clergyman was there to save souls. Other people might be scandalized by the clergyman's behavior, but so what?
