== On Appropriate Attire in Worship Services ==

Church Council would not want to turn away '''any''' person from the saving grace of God. Accordingly, Council does not believe that it is appropriate or acceptable that it should regulate a dress code for attendance at worship services.

Having said that, Council would urge all regular attendees to take into consideration the feelings of others in the congregation when they do dress to attend worship. If we recognize that some articles of clothing (or lack of them!) may upset others, and distract them from their devotions, we may choose to be more discreet in what we wear. The words of Paul in may be appropriate:
 * [[CommunicationsCalendarPolicy | Calendar Policy]] ''draft only: not yet considered by CommunicationsCommittee''
 * ElectronicCouncilCommunications ''not a policy, but this document sets out the motivations for electronic communications with the church''
 * EmailEtiquetteGuidelines ''draft only: under consideration by CommunicationsCommittee''
 * [[CouncilEndowmentPolicy|EndowmentPolicy]] ''approved CouncilMinutes20110216''
 * PrivacyPolicy ''appproved'': CouncilMinutes20100915, item 4.6
 * CouncilElectionProcess2012 (actually a Congregation responsibility, but included here for completeness)
 * PolicySafePlaceForKids adopted 2003
