Am I wrong ? STORY OF THE DAY

Last Sunday, I encountered a moment of reflection when I noticed a woman in her 40s at church with tattoos and multiple piercings. Growing up, I was taught that modest attire was essential to show respect in sacred spaces. Her appearance made me question my long-held views on what’s “appropriate” for church. After suggesting a more subdued look, she responded simply, “How I look has nothing to do with you.” This left me pondering whether my discomfort stemmed from outdated beliefs.

As society values personal expression, perhaps our approach to church attire needs to evolve too. While some see modesty as respect for sacredness, others believe outward appearance shouldn’t limit one’s ability to worship. Churches are meant to unite people, welcoming diverse stories and backgrounds. Tattoos, piercings, and unique styles often reflect personal journeys, and focusing too much on appearance risks losing sight of faith’s core values—acceptance and compassion.

Balancing tradition with self-expression may foster a more inclusive worship environment, one that encourages respectful yet personal attire. Faith communities can embrace diversity, following values of unity and love. After all, what truly matters in worship is the sincerity of faith, not appearance.
