“Come as you are” has always been one of the lines from Church that has always made me roll my eyes. Mainly because no one actually means “come as you are.” I mean if I showed up at Church on a Sunday in a mini skirt and crop top, it would be a topic of discussion for years to come! I’m also the Pastor’s daughter, so could you imagine the after-church tea that would be sipped?!?! When you come to church, you are expected to come in your Sunday best. If you have ever had the privilege of attending a traditional Black Church of any denomination you know exactly what I mean. Everyone is dressed to impress in their hats and suits. Someone’s Sunday Best is usually their top tier clothing, if they aren’t going to slay anywhere else during the week, they are going to shut it down at Church on Sunday. What if I told you though that this false sense of coming as you are to church doesn’t just start with what we wear?
