I always get annoyed when people insist on having a dress code at church. Once I was playing flute at an open air service. One guy from down the street heard the music, came in, and had his life turned around. I heard later that he had been a drug lord and was on parole.If we had had a dress code, he would have heard the music, come down, and on seeing everyone dressed up prim and proper, he would have turned around and gone home, thinking he was unwelcome.
