Pastor Styles: Casual Sunday

Well, it's summer. And that means nearly unprecedented amounts of church fun manifested in "Casual Sundays." Here are three items you may see your pastor modeling on such an occasion.



Firstly, the braided belt. These relics garnish many pastor's closets and typically make their first appearance around Memorial Day when the deacon board decides jeans are allowed in the pulpit.





Secondly, the American flag tie. Summer offers plenty of opportunities to show unbridled patriotism and the pastor is not immune. Nothing makes the Galatians 5:1 sermon pop like donning one of these little gems.




Finally, the Hawaiian shirt. Popularized by a particular Californian pastor, the Hawaiian shirt has become a staple of "Casual Sunday." But beware if a pastor rocks this style too often; there may be a subliminal message being sent to the trustees that he wants a couple more vacation days next year.

How about black velcro sandals with some nice black dress socks. My southern Baptist pastor growing up wore this fashionable footwear all the time.
