Last Sunday, I found myself facing a thought-provoking moment as I entered the sanctuary. I noticed a woman in her 40s, adorned with tattoos and multiple piercings. Growing up, I was taught that church is a place of reverence and humility, where modest attire reflects respect for the sacred space. Her appearance, however, challenged this deeply ingrained notion. I began to wonder: Are my assumptions about “appropriate” church attire still relevant in today’s world? And should we even have expectations on how people dress in places of worship?
