	Why dress?  Well, for one thing it is a token of respect and
	dignity.  If you were told that you had an interview with
	Christ Jesus, how would you prepare?  You probably wouldn't try
	to impress Him with your clothing, but you would wear clothing
	that indicated your respect for Him, wouldn't you?

I would then wear clothing that had meaning to me and him.  If that
means a certain T-shirt or special pair of ceremonial jeans well than
fine.  I doubt he wants us to conform to what OTHER people think
is a good way to dress.  Indications of respect are personal and
not to be flaunted before others as the tax collectors do.
