Hi Dan, I have a comment/question about the "dress" statement. While I WHOLE heartily agree that the standard should be modesty, the "non-conformist" to the...
Good point, Rick. I would just like to add, that we do have freedom in Christ. While there are some things that are definitely *not* negotiable, such as...
if I can add an addendum to my previous message (as once I've re-read; may not be the complete picture of what I'd like to add). I'm also a strong believer...

Hello Rick, You are wrong. The picture of my wife and I at America's Keswick was when we were in the world and dressed like the world. The second picture is...
Dan, While I agree with most of what you wrote in your paper, I do not think that it will be well received by members of the COC. From my experiences in the...
In some time in history were these not the "style"? Would the 1st century church have considered the length of your wife's dress too short? I think the only...
Dear Dave and EC seekers, Let's remember that God has left us enough evidence as to the nature of His Church to know that the Mennonites are Gnostic's. It is...
Do you think the women in the COC all dress modestly? The point in this writing is not to say the COC should do exactly as the Mennonites, but to learn...
NO... from my experience in the ICOC, women did not ALL dress modestly. Early on in the church (ICOC) it was quite common for a mature sister to go up to...
Aren't those the styles of the late 18th and early 19th century? Modest yes... but to think it wasn't a "style" of the world at one time is very wrong. In Him ...
I'm sure that in the late 18th and early 19th century people dressed modestly, even though it was what the world was wearing. The Christian is to make...
You make my point. Style has nothing to do with it. There are clothes you can buy today that are modest that wouldn't fit your prescribed choice of clothes,...

I was not at all saying that women in the CoC dress modestly or immodestly. I was only saying that to apply an artificial, non-scriptural yoke is a burden that...
Not only is it possible that an extra biblical dress code could be a stumbling block, it SHOULD BE A STUMBLING BLOCK. God's way is the best way. To deny...
