Loving the Church means to respect the Church.  Many claim that we have respect for Christ but yet they do not have respect for fellow worshippers.  A case in point is the issue of proper attire.  Of course, this is a highly sensitive issue.  The argument has always been that proper attire is relative. That might be true, but why is it that for weddings and formal engagements, job interviews, etc, we suddenly know how to dress appropriately?  At the end of the day, it is a question of charity.  Is my attire helpful for oneself and for others around me to worship together? How would you feel if I came to your wedding dinner in shorts and slippers?  So even if you feel that it is not disrespectful, at least wear clothes that will not distract your fellow worshippers from rendering worship to God.  Observing decorum in attire is an act of charity and respect both to God and to others.  To dress as we like is to please ourselves.  To dress what the Church likes us to dress is to please the Church. - See more at: http://www.csctr.net/reflections/#sthash.xoEsgbB1.dpuf
