Jesus addresses this type of thing in the gospels as well (Pharisees wondering why Jesus & disciples didn't wash their hands before eating, as was Jewish tradition, or observe the Sabbath). The New Testament solution was to not burden people with matters which are cultural, rather than religious. In fact, Paul said that he would try to blend with the culture of the people he was teaching in order to make the gospel more accessible to them.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289237938435120921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083883760117575042.post-38348124984757700582008-02-15T10:23:00.000-08:002008-02-15T10:23:00.000-08:00i haven't worn a white shirt to church in years. i...i haven't worn a white shirt to church in years. i loved being in hawaii and seeing the sacrament passed in aloha shirts and flip flops. the white shirt and t-shirt craze just reminds me of how influenced the church has been by the business world.the narratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774503436545764912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9083883760117575042.post-44892467415223043182008-02-13T09:30:00.000-08:002008-02-13T09:30:00.000-08:00I liked that posting.

Don't get me wrong, I think appearence matters but I agree that making it a requirement would not be OK. I would rather they be clean on the inside than the outside.
