T. David Gordon points out that people that dress up for weddings and funerals often don't dress up for church. In recent American history at least, the idea has been that we dress up for church because we take it seriously, just like we take weddings or commencement seriously. Many churches discourage dressing up, however, because they feel it can hinder newcomers from feeling comfortable. I don't think I can find a biblical mandate to dress up for church, but perhaps there is a very good reason outside of Scripture.
So here is my question: should church be more formal, or more comfortable?
