Dr MacArthur and the Full Windsor…

April 1, 2008 in Church Life with View Comments

This is a challenging post from Dr MacArthur.  I’ve been a pastor in this kind of a setting and currently pastor in a very different environment.  What are you thoughts?  By the way, when I did wear a tie to church (and to work for that matter), I prefered a "Full Windsor".  The problem for me was that I had to have an extra long tie to make it work without looking like Steve Urkel.  When was the last time you wore a tie?

By the way, here’s a thoughtful response to Dr MacArthur’s comments… Enjoy.

John MacArthur on Respect in the Pulpit

Dr. MacArthur writes: "Some people ask, why do I wear a tie? Because I have respect for this responsibility. I wear a suit because this is a more elevated experience for people. I’m trying to convey what people convey at a wedding: this is more serious than any normal activity.

    I think if you go down this road you have to put yourself in earlier cultures to see if the belief/comment still works for you. For example, if we were back in the times where only robes could be worn in the pulpit, would the same argument be held for those “disrespecting” the pulpit by wearing only a coat and tie?
