Hey.  Just wanted to add my input on the whole dressing-style at church
thing.

First of all, let me say that I go to a very large church where about 75%
of the people wear casual clothes and then rest dress up.  

I agree with Posh on a few things.  I do think that it is important not
necessarily to dress up for chuch but to coem the best that you can -
basically just that you're clean and not wearing anything revealing. 
Which is, more or less, how I think Christians should present themselves
every day, not just on Sundays.  Part of our duty as Christians is to
lead by example, and by showing others that we respect our body we are
honoring Christ (don't forget - our bodies are our temples).

Now don't get me wrong here - I'm not saying that you have to wear a
dress or a nice skirt to school or to the mall or to a friends house or
out running errands or even to church.  All I'm saying is that it is
inappropriate to wear a super short skirt ANYWHERE or for guys to wear
their pants so low that their underwear is hanging out ANYWHERE - not
just in a church setting.  

And I know how all the clothing stuff is.  I'm a teenager, I wear jeans
and t-shirts.  (Not to church but I think that s a personal preference). 


Basically, i just think that as Christians we should present our selves
in a modest demeanor, no matter is we're at church, shcool, or the
grocery store.
