Dress styles for Church

How do you feel about people wearing jeans to Sunday church services? A lot of people including myself are wearing jeans especially members of my community (lgbtq) along with people that are not. Some of the older members of the congregation say we are being disrespectful to God for dressing that way. This is the same group of people that tend to ignore the lgbtq people in the church. BTW it is a United Methodist Church I am referring to.

It's probably more a matter of respecting others in the congregation than God - who has rather more important things to think about than fashion! They dress more formally to attend church and think that's the only way, without seeing it's their not God's taste in clothes.

Though I fail to see your link between jeans and sexuality.

@ArishMell In reference to your last sentence. The people that don't like for us to wear jeans in "THEIR" church are also the ones that don't like for members of the LGBTQ community to be in "THEIR" church. It's almost as though that certain group wants to control what happens in the church and the church minister and other staff member stay mum on the matter.

@Shannon27 Oh, I see. A sort of self-defined ruling clique yet only members of the congregation... Very Christian of them.
